  1. Best advice I can give is to get a goal for yourself. Write it down so you can always see it, especially when its been a shitty tuesday and u really want to just take a hit. Focus hard on your poker game, and try to get to yourself to the next level. If you are not already, start lifting/working out. If you stay busy and keep trying to improve in life, you'll find you don't even have time to think about weed, and a couple months down the road you'll realize that its out of your life.That's is basicially what I did last year, and although it has been tough, you can make it. GL man, and keep us updated.

  2. I was surfing cardplayer a little and saw this "pokerquiz", and didn't agree with the answer they gave. "QuestionA $10-$20 game. You are in early position having the Jh-Js and raise an early limper. A middle player, the big blind, and the limper call. There is $85 in the pot and four players. The flop is: 8d-7d-3d, giving you an overpair. The big blind checks and the early limper bets. What do you do?AnswerCall. With the board flopping all of one suit, it would be out of line for you to raise. If another diamond appears, your hand is instantly dead, unless it is specifically the J. Call and await developments. If a blank comes on the turn and you are checked to, then you can bet. Otherwise, you may be glad you just called."I'm thinking that the right play here is to raise, for a couple of reasons.1. I could easily have the best hand right now, as my opponent could be drawing with the naked ace, and I want to hurt his odds.2. It helps drive out the other players, which can lead to me being heads-up in position.3. If I flat call, I learn nothing about the opener's hand, where if I raise, especially when the bet is only 10, I learn a lot about the hand.4. If a diamond falls and my opponent checks, I can represent the Ad pretty easily in this spot (a semibluff raise on the flop would make sense).Opinions? Do you agree or disagree
