Dohhhhhhhh,
This is not a good place for any of us to dispense medical advice, but.......
It's just wrong that a young man should be so tired, so often, something is definitely wrong there, & you ought to (try to) get it sorted.
Also, one typical piece of advice from me to what should be a sprightly young man - how often do you get out of the house, for a bit of exercise & fresh air? As a regular reader of this Diary, you very rarely mention going out. Fresh air & exercise might sound yawn-worthy advice from a grumpy old so & so, but it's solid.
A good balanced diet is important, too, with plenty of fruit, & maybe cut down on "pop" & fizzy drinks. Water, even flavoured water, beats pop by a mile.
Best regards,
Marjorie Proops.
Oddly, her first name was actually Rebecca.
Back in the pre-internet days, people like Marj were huge stars, as Newspapers were so much more important then.

Hi JJ,
You wrote.....
That's all great news, & I'm very glad to hear it. All the more reason, then, to persist with proper medical consultations. It's just not right, this tiredness is nature's way of trying to tell you something. At my age, we can expect to feel tired, at your age, no way.
As to the Diary being "dominated by tiredness", it might be just me (very likely is) but I cant & don't read "poker only" Diaries, they bore me (& I suspect a few others) to tears. I like better balance to diary & conversation. I've never once commented on this Diary as to whether a play with AK in early position or whatever was right or wrong, it does not interest me one dot, unless of course it is to assist a newbie to the game, in which case yes, I'm all over that. There's a whole lot more to life than the silly, but wonderful, game of poker.
Anyway, listen to Grandad, & go see Mr Quack again.
Stopped reading after that bit. I'm chuffed to bits. The little team of well meaning naggers on here may have helped a bit.
You do the poker advice, we'll look after the more mundane matters of life & death, ok?
+1 to TKz life / poker comment. Keep life coming

reason 1) you only have 6 combos of 44, and he might even have some A4s combos, so it's not like you have significantly more 4x than villain. Villain still has a range advantage ott despite hero having slightly more 4x simply because he has so many overpairs, so it's not a spot we can go crazy.
reason 2) you probably raise sets otf a decent %, well, I think you should be, and even if you're not, villain might be thinking this, making your bluff less successful.
reason 3) the flush draw missed. It's simply too easy for villain to reasonably think, ok, flush draw missed, he hasn't got very many 4x, he might raise sets otf, I call. Also, not that it's hugely relevant in these games, but bluffing with an overpair like this means you're bluffing significantly too much. I would only make this move if I was so sure villain overfolds vs aggression, and I'd really have to be positive because if you're not, then it's total spew.
** your actual line is fine, but not with this hand **
*** one more edit - I'm very willing to rail you playing zoom for a short while and make notes to help you. I won't talk while you're playing because that's a distraction, and when you've finished I'll type them to you/chat about it***
Your symptoms are similar to my father in law's. I'm assuming you can go to bed, have a good 8hrs sleep and still feel exhausted in the morning??
He suffered for months before he was eventually diagnosed with sleep apnoea. He now sleeps with a mask on to maintain his airflow during the night and he says he feels like a new man.
Google the symptoms for yourself and if they sound familiar then demand a test. My father in law spent the night in hospital hooked up to various monitors in order to be diagnosed. It's all good and well getting 8hrs sleep but with sleep apnoea you are rarely having a good quality deep sleep that the body and mind require. Might be worth looking into.
Whatever it is, I hope it gets sorted soon and it's good to see you back on the forum.
Fingers crossed it's not as bad as you understandably fear.
Just a suggestion, but have you considered playing SNG's or DYM's? They only last around 40 minutes, tops.
In fact, for some players - Jac35 & Macacgirl spring readily to mind - they barely last 5 minutes.
