I am almost 40 now and reached basically most of my life goals.
I finished university
I have a beautiful wife
a cool 9 year old stepson
a good paying job as software developer (3,4k month after tax)
i am still doing lots of sports.
The times here at Liquidpoker 12-14 years ago were wild and in retrospective i can say that the reason i have a good life now is
that i stopped chasing fast success
that i stopped trying to be special
that i stopped believing i am somehow making it happen because i am the choosen...
What finally gave me success is getting down to earth and accepting that if you want money , girls and a good life
you have to do it the same boring way everybody else does.
1.) choose a job that pays well
2.) go to university and work your ass off to become an expert in that field
3.) graduate and get hired by a software company
it just works.
99.9 % of people will not become rockstars , poker millionairs , Superstar Athletes or whatever.
yesterday i stumbled upon this song while watching some twitch stream
I found it to have quite an nice atmosphere.
Still i somehow think i am not sure i get the meaning of the lyrics right.
The official word is that the song is about the process of a relationship falling apart.
___________________________________________________
I'm not gonna try and make it even
You're way ahead by now
I'm not gonna try and make it all even
Even though I know how
___________________________________________________
First part i think is about 2 people in a relationship where one of them has done some things that does seperate both in a very harsh way.
One possible and obvious option is that one of the two has cheated on the other several times while the other has stayed faithful.
This would fit perfectly since the only way to make them even again would be by person B starting to cheat, too
but B realizes that he was cheated so often that its a long way to goo till they would be even again.
and he is not willing to do it.

And everyone thinks I dodged a bullet
But I think I shot the gun
And everyone thinks I dodged a bullet
But I think I shot the gun
I guess its about how people from the outside see them as a couple.
Everyone thinks they have overcome a crisis and are in the process of fixing stuff to get along well again . (Dodged the bullet)
But he thinks he did finally decide to quit for real. (Has not done it yet but decided to do so)
__________________________________________________________
I'm not gonna tell my new friends about you
No, I'm gonna let that slide
I'm gonna be lazy when I write about you
Even though it takes all my might
_________________________________________________________________________
Person B is starting a process of seperation
He will try to cut out Person A of his daily life bit by bit.
Allthough it obviously will be hard
_____________________________________________________________
I'm gonna get back to believing
It's been a long, long time now
I'm gonna get up and make it look easy
Even though I don't know how
Last part is about him trying to get his shit together and "attacking" life again
Getting confidence in himself back after getting hurt and lost in the relationship for a long time
He is motivating himself to get up and make it look easy
And of course right now while he is down ...the vision of his happy self confident future him is just a picture he likes to draw .
He is not yet knowing how it will work out.
Did i get this right ?
Somehow makes sense
but i am obviously not a native speaker so i might have gotten some things wrong
Played some poker last week.
Realised again why poker is nothing for me
Not "real" Poker though.
CS:Go Poker ...where u deposit skins and then play poker and after that cashout in skins....
1000chips = 80 cent skin value
Deposited all the CS:Go Skins i dont need (Since i dont play CS:Go more then 2-5h a week anyways i dont really need skins)
Got in 18K (14,5€) in Skin Value and started some 4K chips HU games. (I somehow never managed to make a solid BR Rule ever ^^)
Competition is basically CS:Go Players who never played poker..... Its like in the good old pre 2010days on Partypoker
Played super standard ABC oldschool poker....
Just value betting/ 3 betting PF
C betting most flops
Value betting turns and rivers
No bluffs , no crazy shit
Won some pots , lost some pots ....got my ass handed by some big suckouts but always came back and after 4h i had managed to make it to 78K chips
then i joined a 20K HU table.... (Well Poker BR... again)
Villian was an incredible calling station , calling 100% 3 bets pf with K2o and stuff like that.
After some time we both had around 30K chips
------------------------------------
I get AQs
He raises pf i 3 bet he calls (as always)
flop 873 all Spades
I bet flop he 3 bets i shove all in , he calls
and he shows A3 no draw
turn 3 river A...
he wins with Full House...
-------------------------------------------
I cash out the remaining winnings and decide that
it was a good Idea to quit poker almost 4 years ago
Its just not for me
