There's less and less to say...
I'm a fish in the life and a fish at the poker table.
Like everyone else I thought I was the greatest (but just running bad).
Like everyone else I am a giant fish (but running hot for a while).
This is the time to turn things around.
Wake up early in the morning, go to bed early at night.
Studying the game and finding peace in the life.
Early morning runs in the park,
studying poker hands and poker videos,
regular work outs at the gym,
stay calm and thoughtful at all times.
Deflating the ego.
No dope, no booze, no silly arguments or pointless stress.
Flushing the fish out of me.
I'm an absolute beginner.
That's all I have to say.

The Way Of The Buddha
Early one morning around Brussels Airport, I’m driving when the typical sound of a police whistle interrupts my morning numbness. Checking the rear-view mirror, I see a frantically gesticulating police officer. Fuck, I got a cellphone pressed against my ear... This might be an expensive morning.
So I back up and open the window. The police officer turns out to be a woman. She immediately starts the usual traffic-police-rant.
I just breathe and listen.
A few weeks back I discovered Zen Buddhism.
I'm still a total fish, of course, but stressed-out police officers are a wonderful exercise in tiltlessness.
When she's looking for my reply, I simply state
‘You are right, I made a mistake’
After that, she goes on for a little bit more.
Then, suddenly, she signals I can drive on.
No traffic fine. No paperwork.
I didn't play my part so she let it slide....
Just breath and stay cool.
It takes two to start an argument.
Make sure you got better things to do...
