Thanks frost, I just talked to my mom and she had a similiar view, I think I'll pick up like 10 lawns to mow during the summer, that would alleviate the stress of having to win and would give me something active to fill out the rest of my day. Mowing would be perfect cuz I kind of enjoyed it in high school, it pays really well per hour and is very flexible with whatever schedule. If I get felted 3 times in a row that would be a great way to blow off some steam. Thanks again for your input!
Way off topic, but genearal question, do you think a lot of poker players use some kind of attention deficit medication to enhance their ability to play focused for extended periods, anyone in college knows that the stuff works awesome if you need to study for a long time regardless of whether or not you have ADD or not. Seems like it'd be a huge edge in a long tournament.

Roflmao man alive man alive man alive you living my life lol I just read your latest blogs and this is priceless I got a good laugh when you brought cutting lawns into the picture to. This is funny. You truly are living and going through everything I did when I was playing poker seriously lol. Only difference is you seem to be a cash game player and I made my earnings on 45 man tourneys and MTTs. But heres my say.
So the hole mowing the lawn thing. Yea that... thats awsome because that was exactly what I was doing to make sure I had money lol. I cut lawns all the time to make sure I could keep up with a loss at the tables. And now that its getting nicer out im already lining more lawns up for the summer. So im 100% with you on mowing lawns that will save your ass a lot and it gives you a lot of time to think about your play and what you want to reach with your roll.
And yea I defintly looked into the hole medication thing also. I was taking this seriously and wanted to have a clear mind. I drank a lot of Vitamin Water. (Focus,SYNC) were my two favorites for poker. But Energy was also another choice I had.
I even experimented with the anxiety pills and shit to see if they could put a damper on things and they actually did work. They made getting up for school a lot less stressfull and made playing online a lot less stressful.
I would recommend checking out the pill department though lmfao. I used to play 30-70MTTS a day and those things get outta control. On wild nights where I was just pumped outta my mind I could reel out 100 tourneys a day
