January Update

This month is still really killing me. It seems as though every time I put in a solid session I have a session following that is just full of coolers and just a terrible run of cards. I'm happy with my play and am feeling confident at 50nl again. I've been putting in a decent amount of volume since being back at school and am going to keep up the pace from now on and hope the results will follow. I'm still capping at 10 tables and focusing on making +EV decisions.

My coaching session with OldSchool went well and he was informative, but watching him play I don't think would be as beneficial as him sweating me and seeing my mistakes. Maybe in the future I'll have him sweat me. I definitely picked up some good concepts though such as the real idea from betting to protect and to really get value out of some of my marginal hands.

I'm at 1,966.42 VPPs on the year so far and will definitely be making it a priority to hit Gold Star this month and Platinum next month. I have 11,691.61 FPPs saved up and will continue to build and only will spend if I get a price of $.016 per FPP or better (buying items through 2+2 for members for transfers or any promotions that come about).

So to sum things up I'm still down for the month, but feeling stronger than ever and as motivated as ever. Just need to play through the variance!

  1. Keep working at it, man. We should definitely Skype with Jake soon. Were there other coaches that you thought looked good as well or was he the only one?
