ATTENTION: New policy regarding lessons
Recently this week I've had numerous cancellations/reschedules of lessons. I understand things come up and stuff but you guys have to understand that I've set a time aside each day for everyone of you, and whenever someones misses a lesson, it screws up my schedule, especially if its the starting time already and you have not even contacted me, wait for me to contact you and say you want to reschedule/cancel. I have definitely been not happy about that.
Make up lessons are not as easy as it sounds because everyday I have set it for one specific student. As I've stated in my teacher bios, I want DEDICATED students who are SERIOUS about the game. I'm looking for long term mentoring and you not giving me 110% effort will not cut it. I'm sorry to be so blunt but I come from a community where respect for your instructor is highly regarded. I honestly feel like just because some of you are getting to know me more, the respect is started to get sloppy, especially with lesson times.
Therefore, I'm going to enforce a new policy where all of my students are allowed 1 reschedule/cancel per month and if for any reason you stood me up (not even telling me about the cancellation/reschedule) you are automatically disqualified from my "school." That to me is extremely disrespectful. Contact me about it, not wait for me to contact you. You are the student, be proactive. I have currently 25 people on the waiting list, so if you are not working hard to stay in, then get out, there's plenty of people who want in.
If you feel like I'm being too harsh or whatever, then leave. During my time as instructor, i'm not here to be a baby sitter. I'm here to be an instructor to push you hard, to make you good. If I don't become strict like this, things get sloppy and your play will show, guaranteed. If you think this is too much for you then tell me before hand so I can replace someone, many are desperately trying to get in and are offering better hourly rates. Your spots are very valuable, I hope you appreciate the spot and my effort to make you a better player.
So basically, only 1 cancellation/reschedule is allowed every calendar month. If more than that you will be disqualified. Also not contacting me about cancellation/reschedule 12-24hsrs before hand will also result in the same consequence. My time is very limited. I hate to do something like this but I've had 4 reschedules this week......so its getting pretty out of hand. If you feel like weekly lessons are too much then please tell me so I can find you another instructor.
Also, contact me for my number and give me yours for easier cancellation/reschedules

Warning: obvious brag post, so proceed with caution
after a huge downswing (-18 buy ins) in like 14k hands, i finally turned it around, and damn did i turn this around. just check out this fxxxing graph
note: this graph is missing $1.6k of profits, so do the math
damn man winning feels so damn good. i remember i used to win i'd be like, yeah whatever $2k, pshhh just 5 buy ins. i think you can't take your winnings for granted. when you win, appreciate it, appreciate your luck, appreciate your hard work, and appreciate everything. taking winnings for granted will inhibit you from taking losses too well since you are "supposed" to win.
this downswing has given me so much more insight to the game that i also "appreciate" the downswing despite being in absolute agony while i was in it. but right now, i play very focused poker. just like one table today where i was playing stickboney, you can ask him, i didn't make any bad moves at all, for 2 hrs straight i just focused on playing goot solid poker.
alright i'll admit i've been running pretty hot, but its not like i've been suckin out. i haven't been, i've been just hittin my hands and maximizing values on my made hands and inducing a lot of bluffs from people.
this is my graph, in big bets, from january to now. basically its half 200 and half 400. steady wouldn't you say?

Ok. First of all, everyone go read stickboney's blog entry. its the entry on march 10th. its a very useful post. link to his site is on the right of my page or goto www.xanga.com/cribby23
anyways, today i was under the weather but i played anyway. i was not focused and my results showed. i made some pretty stupid plays. i broke even at the end but i should've been up given my cards. pretty frustrating as i ended the session early since i was really not in it. later tonight i was still feelin a lil under the weather but better, so i decided ya kno, i gota play some hands. i made sucha good decision by just browing thru stickboney's blog and what he said really got to me. i then took a shower, cleared my desk, and sat down to play some very good solid AND focused poker.
I really think that when you focus, you play much better and ur results/winrate will show by itself. I played an excellent session. Made very few mistakes and some very solid plays. Came out a 4.5 buy in winner tonight. moral of the post is to always stay focused and if you find yourself not focusing, then stop and don't play until you recoup yourself.
I also, I added a pic of patrik antonius because he is my biggest poker idol. The reason being is that this guy has it all. he's tall, good looking, athletic, rich, drives an aston martin vanquish, destroys the highest limit on FTP, can get any girl he wants, his gf is hot, tremendous respect from everyone, considered by many THE best NL hold'em player in the world, lives in the bellagio, AND holds titles to EPT. This is exactly what kind of accomplishment i'm trying to look for and this is exactly what i want to do with poker, is to achieve the above results. this is why he's one of my biggest idols in poker and i'm gona try very very hard to one day be like him. that it all

Good news ppl, i've recovered..in just 2 days lol. heres the graph
some things i've learned in this downswing:
- stretches like these are gona separate the big winners from marginal winners. it is so important to keep your cool and not tilt while you are running bad
- luck is not a factor to blame. everyone will get coolered and at the end of the day, your decisions will determine your results - sbrugby. don't point any fingers, the only person/thing to blame is yourself. look over hands, you'll be surprised how many small mistakes u made
- do not get into the, i'm gona play a ton so i can get out of it quicker. its true, but when you get into that grind mode, you stop thinking about every play. instead you fire up as many tables as you can to put in more hands. not a good idea. always be thinking about your decisions and put your opponent on ranges
- very beneficial to get a "game check" preferrably by someone who is at your level or higher. a lot of the times you think you are just running bad but in reality your game is just not solid enough. you might not have big major leaks, but small leaks can add up and kill your winrate. so watch someone play, have someone sweat u, or get a coach (or 2)
- do not focus too much on numbers. I kno the fact that my ptbb dropped from 5.77 all the way down to 2.6 killed my confidence. remember as one of my friend told me "poor ppl focus on the results/numbers, rich ppl focus on the process"
- believe in yourself. its very easy to get down on yourself and feel like maybe you cannot beat this limit whatever and it'll be hard to come out of the cycle. its like depression. but if you don't believe you can dig out, no one can help you. everytime you sit down at a table, ask yourself, what's gona happen, always think positive and be like "i'm gona kick these players asses and win a couple of buy ins."
- absolutely do not move up and chase losses. i know i didnt' and that's probably how i could get out of the downswing so quickly. also i think this illustrates how 20 buy ins is not even CLOSE to enough for bankroll management. a player of my caliber can easily swing down 18 buy ins....by the time you reach -10 buy ins, 1/2 of ur roll is gone, that will be psychologically so devastating. and you might have to move down. throughout this stretch, i started with 110 buy ins so it sure helps to have a huge bankroll.
- do not take winnings for granted. i think that's what i did. i expect to win everytime i sit down. its not necessarily a bad thing to "expect" winnings but you just have to realize that you cannot win every session.
conclusion: in a sense i think bad runs are good for you. it forces you to readjust your game and forces you to become a better player. w/out this huge bad run i would've probably never learned some of the stuff above "the hard way" i think learning it the hard way is really beneficial for me as i will remember how to deal with the agony of losing next time i lose and how to bring myself out of it. so when you run bad, don't be pissed, be "happy" in a sense because you will learn from it and sooner or later come out of it being a better player. i actually don't want to be just winning all the time, it may sound weird, but right now i love it when i lose, because it'll make me stronger. there is a reason whenever i break even if i say "fxxx i rather be down" because when i'm down i force myself to look closer at my HH's and what not and it'll all just make me a better player in the long run

so, i got myself another coach today. i liked my coach right now, BK, he's awesome, but i think its good to have a 2nd opinion of how your play is
basically, his first impression of my play is identical to BK's: "you seem to play very solid and have a good fundamental understanding of the game. I can assure you are a winner."
it is really great to hear someone who's better say those kind of words to you. its juts so encouraging, especially since i'm in sucha gay ass downswing right now. i'm not gona go out and say what i'm gona change about my game because i think some of my opponents have been reading my blogs and trying to pick my game apart but i just have to say the session with the new coach was extremely interesting. he thinks very different then me, post flop that is. not VERY, but the things he think about are much more subtle but they will add up in the long run.
i think it was very +ev for me to pay him to watch me play tonight as I again see that i have ALOT of leaks, not major, but minor leaks to work on plugging. i'm always trying to perfect my game and i will do so until i die one day. tomororw i'm gona play some more good solid poker and hopefully get myself up a couple of buy ins so i can get on the winning track again. the cards weren't so terrible for tonight but still kinda bad.....one hand

-so awesome. made a perfect read and a TOUGH call just to get rivered. the other guy who folded said he had the nut flush draw. so i was up against a 7 outer. sigh. i hate it when i make sucha good read but still get sucked out anyway. what can i say, i got it in as a favorite (74%) so i guess poker just hates me right now
if any of you want a second opinion on your game, i have someone that will be able to check out your game. him n i started playin poker together but we have some distinctly different styles although i believe our mentality is the same. he's very knowledgable and definitely can help ppl beat the lower stakes games |
