hey Primo, when we can schedule 1n 1? ![]()
how are you today?
Hey Alex, you gotta give me some time! You know, my motivation to hit the tables is not really big - actually, it´s close to zero. I play on 888 and Titan mainly. About Partypoker we will see.... have some little money left there and I´m curious what will happen there and how the player pool will change.

I believe the question was about the surface of your tennis court? (clay, grass, whatever)

Aw, ash! Of course ash in summer and carpet in winter.
I see You as a female John Mac on the Court: “Out?!?? I don’t believe You called that Out!”

I do. I started with this one, mostly as a little joke about some of our forum memes. After getting some positive feedback, I went on to do some more, like this, this and then this.I mostly see it as drawing practice.
Nice work!! I wish I could draw a straight line :'(
Salt n Spice
Doing sports in warm and hot weather makes me terribly crave for salty and spicy foods (which makes sense)!! But the thing is: I seem to loose too much of the mineral salts!!
On Wednesday I had bad muscle cramps and since I´ve been taking Lamictal I seem to loose more mineral salts and loose them WAY quicker! On Monday I have my 3-monthly check-up at my psychiatrist and the sports at this warm and humid weather will be a major topic! Will ask what I can do against this brutal salt-loss and how I can get back the mineral salts I have lost?
Further, I realized that maybe the Lamotrigine-level in my blood may drop during summer. Don´t know but in hot weather somehow Lamictal seems not to work so well, especially when I work out in such warm and hot weather. Will ask doctor about that und what to do? I use to drink a lot of tea, when it´s hot 4-5 liters per day.
Sometimes I have panic attacts when I work out in hot weather...:rage:. last year Paxil worked very well and I didn´t panic, but as we know now: I can´t have Paxil! Contra-indicated in bipolar disorder! ![]()
Was cycling today and it was very nice. Not so hot today, that was just perfect! ♠_thumbsup:

Well, the good thing about digital art is that you can infinitely redraw your lines until you get what you wanted. There's a reason why most drawing tablets come with an easily accessible "undo last action" button.
Also, you work on different layers, so you can (and should) do plenty of crude pre-sketches to build on, before starting with the final version.
The beginning of my new poker-life
Feels a bit strange.
Decided to play a little fun-session and registered to some little MTTs up to 1.10 $ and played some 1.10 $ and 2.20 $ (1€ and 2€) DONs on Party and Titan. Wanna check out the new Partypoker and the new player pool. While I was playing my tournaments, I had time to think about my new poker-life (got a lot of trash hands). How will it be? I´m just a fun-player now, I can play the limits I want and the formats I like. This is such a relief! On the other hand, I will have to give up my privileges and status on Titan. I won´t mass-grind DONs and SnGs anymore, so I have to say goodbye to my "Ruby"-status. I will have to say goodbye to my gold-status here. I will of course never forget what I have learnt so far and of course I will try to improve.
As pure habit, I opened 8-9 tables, but that´s fine. You can play 8-9 tables also just for fun. And one more thing is extremely relieving: I don´t have to care about putting in volume anymore!!
Just play what I want, the limits I want and as much as I want, without the goal of playing at least 30-40 tourneys in one session, worrying about BR and BRM.

So I sat down at some little MTT-tables and tried out the DONs on Party. Of course I was not running great, but was not so bad. Could win a couple of DONs and even place ITM in two MTTs (only the "little" ITM though). But that´s a good and fun-start. And status? Well, scr.... it! Don´t wanna worry about that either. I play when I feel like playing and what I like.
Of course I plan to play my usual 5€ and 5.50 $ again, but at the moment, time is not right yet! Will re-start playing those after vacation. ♠_pleased:
Holy crap!!!

A little health update: Now it´s clear why I don´t master the mental game. Why? Because it´s not possible with bipolar disorder!
Didn´t know that! Really! Had my usual check-up appointment with my psychiatrist today and told her my whole poker-story with the bad-run! Told her that I was struggling with the mental game of poker and learnt that it´s not even possible for a bipolar patient. I have been struggling with it for a while now, read books, tried some mental tricks, nothing helped. Of course not! Mission impossible! I told doctor that I plan to play only recreationally in the future. I have never seen a person such relieved as she was!
I learnt that exactly such bad runs and the stress that goes with them can trigger manic episodes!

Thanks goodness, I´m still fine but gotta be very very careful in future.....
