I almost forgot since my last post a few minutes ago, I wanted to mention some poker coaching that I had a few weeks ago that is really starting to come to fruition. I found that my game was stagnating at NL50 and especially NL100 full ring. I was making money but nowhere as much as what I had been doing. I just find grinding very tough although that could be down to my idle tendencies rather than anything else.

However I have turned the corner results wise and the past six weeks have seen a huge increase in profits but also in my mind set. One thing led to another and because I was struggling some months ago then I was finding excuses not to play poker. I didn’t want to play poker for the simple reason being that I was only earning around $20/hour. This had dropped from a peak of $35/hour.

Despite the fact that many people were telling me that this could be variance and that the games at www.pokerstars.co.uk had become tougher then I refused to believe either reason. I am always convinced that there is something wrong with my game first and foremost before I accept any outside reasons as being the cause. Sure enough my new coach ripped me to pieces but I couldn’t counter any of it because what he was saying was right. I just had to hear it from someone and when I did then it became a huge weight that was lifted. So looking forward to the rest of 2012 with vigour.
