10 days in Buenos Aires

Hey, it's me ADZ 122.

Long time no see. Indeed, I have not posted an entry for like 2 month and a half. At this time, I was chipleader of a donkament hosted in Mar del plata, Argentina. Obviously, I did not take it down and I ended #22 (or #17 I can't remind) for like $14k. At this time, everything would suceed. I was to be, and I'm 100% honnest, the best at this game.

Long story short, since April, NLHE has fucked me up so FUCKING HARD. I can't even look at this stupid game played with only 2 CARDS. HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU OFTEN HIT A FULL HOUSE AT THIS GAME ? Ok, you got me, I now play PLO. And I seriously love it. This damn game is fun and being better day after day highlighted one of the reason I had hated poker so much lately : I had lost my desire to progress.

Today, after some bulshit happened with family/friend, I just wanted to get the fuck out of here and go back in Paris, alone in my aprtmt. And soudelainly, I reminded I was a pro poker player and so I was like "WOOT, Robin, wake up seriously, why would you grind in a empty flat in Paris if instead you can take a flight in 4 days and go in Buenos Aires ?". Here I'm, I booked my train ticket vannes => paris and also booked a 10 days trip in Buenos Aires.

I will stay in this hotel. I pretty much picked him "au hasard" and I just saw a guy on 2+2 recommends it so I run good so far.

Why do I tell you this ?

I'm gonna post some goals for that trip, poker and non poker stuff related.

Poker stuff :

- 2 sessions of maximum 3 hours a day
- game will only be PLO (6max - PLO200 up to PLO1k)
- 10k profit
- get coached by KasinoKrime (just a small word about him, I started to play PLO like a month ago and we started to work together for ~3 weeks now, he helped me a ton with my PLO game and I owe him much)

Non poker stuff :

- One hour of cardio a day. I gained - too - much weight lately, obviously linked with poker (junk food, sleep schedule fked up...).

- Wake up at 10 MAXIMUM everyday but more allowed if good reason (getting laid with a hot local chick or if I'm ill of that swine influenza (Argentina is full of that crap)

- Hang out with a nice guy I met when I was in mar del plata nammed Ricardo (he helped me to get my flight on time when I was heading back to Paris), he is a individual golf coach. It will be an occasion to learn to play golf. I'm told golf has helped ton of players to get better with non poker stuff (like poker, personnal life...).

- Relax and enjoy what my "job" allows me to do

Well, I guess I'm done for now. I will take a ton of pictures during my whole trip, will post them here for sure. Also, daily updates will be done with graph/my poker mindset/my life mindset and so on.

I hope you guys will enjoy
