Project No Spending Money: Day 23 and 24
Yesterday I didn't spend any money but on Day 24, my friend call me to "hang" out at the casino, which translate into playing poker. I was short stack at $100 and waited until I had AA, raised to $22 in a 1/2 NL game, donkey calls me with KQ.
Flop was 3 Q 2.
I check, he bets $50 and I shove all my chips in. He instant calls and rivers a full house. This is the same donkey that went all in preflop with A8 and won a $300 pot. Funny part: he wasn't drunk.
I went home, then after some thoughts, cut up my casino membership card. No more casino for me
The Micro Habit
What I find works for me, is the micro habit. Say you want to lose weight, for most people they go out to buy things like diet pills and exercise machines but that's not the real solution.
The real solution is to have good diet and exercise. Say you spend 30 mins a day exercising, and you lose half a pound a week. That's 2 pounds a month, or 24 pounds a year. Not bad for exercising 30 minutes a day right?
This is a strategy to counter the problem most people face: too much effort and fast results. You'll put in little effort and get delayed results -- but you'll still lose weight
Total money spent in the past 2 days: $120 (AA got cracked)
