Day 1-
Today I figured it all out. I have always regarded poker as the most sophisticated game there is. I am a gamer. I have always been and will always be...a gamer. I see the world as one big game, within are losers, winners, those trying very hard to win, and those trying to cheat. There are rules and limits...but there is one thing different. There are no turns. There is no "one way to play". Moreover, its not exactly set in stone what winning means. Well....kinda. Anyway, I figured it out right. I figured out how to become a great poker player. A great player needs intelligence, perception, assertiveness, and most of all discipline. To cut to the chase, I lack discipline. I got to thinking in my workout...how can I teach myself to be disciplined? DUH!?! Everyday life! If I can prove to myself that I can become disciplined in my budget and in my time management, then I have no reason to not invest in what I think are my abilities at becoming a great player. So what do I mean? I need 750 to bankroll myself to play at the limit I need, to make a little money on the side. That's 30 buy-ins in a .1/.25 NLHE game. So why don't I just deposit...I have the cash? I am challenging my self to become more disciplined in everyday activity, in order to fund this. If I can't become more disciplined to achieve this...how will I ever control my emotions on a table with $1000+ in front of me?
