I live in New Hampshire about an hour from Boston. I recently moved up to the $10/$20 no limit holdem cash games, buying in for 2K was an adjustment but I'm doing O.K. thus far! I prefer to play 12-to-16-hour sessions. I enjoy good camaraderie at the poker table and meeting new people, I also enjoy dancing, chess, hiking, watching Netflix and other worldly things. I have a dry sense of humor and it rubs some people the wrong way, but, it is what it is! I'll share something I read a long time ago...
The decisions you make are greatly affected by the emotional state you’re in and it’s our consistent decisions that shape our reality. Start to become more conscious of what state you’re operating in emotionally and do everything in your power to stay in your positive ones.
"There are known knowns, we also know there are known unknowns, that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. There are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know"
"The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy itself"
Sun Tzu
Death is not bad is the DYING that really sucks...
Change is HARD because it is EASIER to stay where we are.
Reward good play and behavior
