Day 5 Poker Bootcamp
Today was a great day! Very swingy but I am starting to learn what it is im doing exactly. At they gym I weighed in at 218. As far as poker, I learned alot about my redline. but more importantly I learned that I am just flat out calling down too light. I need to quit that before I can move on.

Day 3 Poker Bootcamp
Tuff day today, was a very bad day for the bankroll. I have alot of learning to do that is for sure. I was going through my hem and finding tons and tons of leaks. I might have to summarize a gameplan and go from there. Ill drop down to 4nl for a day tomorrow and work on leaks that ive discovered. I didnt work out worth a crap but about to motivate myself. I need to get there.

Day 2 Poker Bootcamp
Did not do very well today bootcamp wise. I had gout in my right foot so i didnt get going till late. I did however study quite a bit and worked on my game. I ended with a nice winning session of 10nl. Im still not anywhere close to where I have to be but I think I learned some valuable information on what I need to do.
Tonight Ill get a good nights rest and have a good workout in the morning!
Day 1 Poker Bootcamp
What an up and down day! I started at 10am, shaved my head, got ready for the next 6 weeks. I weighed in at 221lbs, and started at 4nl. The goals for the next 6 weeks are to get under 200 lbs. and be up to 50nl.
Such a rocky start! The first workout was intense riding the elliptical for two 30 minute intervals. I also played about 2000 hands both at 4nl and 10nl. The 10nl did not go well at all for me. I was beating the shit out of 4nl at 12bb/100 so I figured on a smooth transition to 10nl. Wrong. If you ever think poker is going to be easy, think again. This truely is the hardest way to make an easy living.
My second workout consisted of a quick 20 minute blast of each muscle part, just to get a little soreness in. I also need to ease into this part of my training as I havnt worked out in years.
Things I must work on:
Attitude. I clearly have to gain a constant positive attitude in order to get this done.
Passion. I need to get that passion back for the game. I need to want to learn.
Sobriety. I am done drinking and smoking. Detrimental to the game, to me.

UIGEA
Unfortunatly dipshit bush is pushing thru this worthless bill. If you are worried about our freedoms then you need to do whatever you can to preserve them!
Thank you TheEngineer for the following test:
The Bush administration has chosen to push through its incomplete Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) regulations via "lame duck" midnight rulemaking. Fortunately, no one is giving up. We have many avenues for success, and you can all be assured this is being fought at many levels. So, what can we poker players do?Here are the four things we can all do right now:1.) Write to President-elect Barack ObamaBarack Obama also has a new comment site, at http://www.change.gov/. I hope every single one of will post polite, professionally worded comments on this issue to him as well. Some points to consider sharing:
The Bush administration's last minute, incomplete UIGEA regulations are reckless in that they place unreasonable requirements on our nation’s imperiled financial services industry. Bush was reckless in forcing them on the country in his 11th hour. You should introduce legislation to overturn them.
These UIGEA regulations set a dangerous precedent for broader censorship of the Internet by the federal government.
The Washington Post, at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/11/AR2008111102935.html , reported that William Wichterman, a recent lobbyist for the National Football League who now works at the White House, played a controversial role in the Bush administration's last-minute effort to implement the UIGEA regulations. His lobbying firm made $2.8 million for these efforts.
Banks should not be forced by the federal government to act as law enforcement entities.
Poker is a game of skill where players compete against each other. There is no “house” profiting from losing players like in casino games of chance.
You should support licensing and regulation of online poker. Congressman Robert Wexler, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, Senator Robert Menendez, and others have sponsored bills that do just that. These bills provide protections for participants with excessive gaming habits. Bush's UIGEA regulations offer these people nothing. 2.) Write to the GOPThe GOP has a new comment site, at http://www.republicanforareason.com/. I hope every single one of will post polite, professionally worded comments on this issue. Some points to consider sharing:
Federal Internet censorship is not a limited government position, nor is the idea that Americans need the government to protect them from themselves.
Banks should not be forced by the federal government to act as law enforcement entities.

The GOP should support licensing and regulation of online poker. Bills currently in Congress provide protections for participants with excessive gaming habits. UIGEA offers these people nothing.
The GOP has had an anti-online poker plank in its last three platforms (2000, 2004, and 2008). As a result, rightly or wrongly most Americans associate the party with UIGEA. This position likely costs the party far more votes than it gains. The GOP can no longer afford to give away votes 3.) Write to CongressGo to the PPA autoletter site, at http://capwiz.com/pokerplayersalliance/home/. In only 60 seconds, you can tell your congressman and both of your senators exactly what you think of UIGEA.4.) Forward this to your friendsThis isn’t just about poker. It’s about Internet freedom and freedom in general. Every American should care.
