Being a better human being

I finally decided to be serious about my fitness goals for 2012. I contacted a running
trainer and the target is going to be Berlin marathon 2013 as well as finding the joy in running.
Hopefully my overall life quality will improve by getting fit again. Good stamina is without a doubt a good quality for a poker player.

I once wrote that playing poker should help me strive to be a better human being.
I will be applying more of this into my line of work, since there is so many dynamic factors that
decide when/what/where you are going to find value or what you like to spend time on.

My mind and determination can be a steady project in a dynamic world.
This may help me find better purpose to what I do for better or worse.
Having goals that involve money or monotone goals have a very big influence on your
mood and if you feel that you are making progress.

My structure is going to be, evolving through playing. Since actually playing poker is the most
fun thing to do.
In my line of work I do miss the factor of good preparation and proper analysis.
With an approach of improving to a better human being I will use my playing time as being
in war. The mental results I get from playing will determine what I have to work with
until my bad sides don't influence my ability to perform as good as possible. I will also try
to improve my good sides, so I constantly raise the bar of my performance.

Being a better human is a subjective thing, for me It's being as well functionally, and as
happy as possible.

Things I already do is working with finding out why I get emotionally involved in the game and trying to make it my advantage instead of disadvantage.

Every month I will strive to look at my results of being a better human and evolving
to be as good poker player as possible.
If I am ever going to have a chance of playing in really big games, I have to be able to detach the influence money have on me.

Update

Live game

I took part in a promotion on Danske Spil and won a package to WTP in Vejle.
I'm really looking forward to having a good time. Since it is my first real MTT Live I do not have any big expectation for cashes.

Health

A good friend of mine invited me to Berlin marathon 2013. Since I really do not train anymore I think I will take the challenge to run it. I know that I feel better when I am fit.




Grinding

Just before Christmas I burned my fingers on some 5000$ HU games. I decided to grind my roll up playing some more six max. It's been going pretty well and I have started to play more higher games. The only difference this time, is that I probably will stay away from close HU matches with a fragile bankroll. A big part of 2012 will go into grinding and working on my theoretical and mental game so I hopefully will be able to take on some good players next year.
