Just gave my first 2-7NL lesson today. I gotta say for $200/hr I think I am a steal. My student is basically preparing himself for the 2 WSOP events as well as any mix games that may have 2-7NL. It was a great lesson and I think in just one hour I turned him from a mediocre reg into a winning pro.

Yesterday I played the majors and for the first time in a while actually won money in tournaments. That is how tournies go, but usually its lose a little win a lot, I actually just won a little with a couple middle of the run cash's in the Sunday Brawl and the 100R. Overall I have been working about 250% longer than I was just a couple months ago and feel really good about my game and the amount of time I am putting in. Soon I will move up from 2/4 NL 6max to 3/6 NL 6max. I am not sure if I will stay at 3/6, I just can't see there being an equal amount of fish to 2/4, and I imagine the regulars aren't nearly as bad. Maybe just game selecting between 2/4 and 5/10 should be my end goal, we will see.


I got in a little online verbal war with king10clubs, one of the better SuperNova Elites on PokerStars. Basically I was continuously owning him at one or two tables where I had position and finally after pushing him out of another pot I said in chat "get owned harder plz" and he came back with some trash, something like "you are a worthless bumhunting nit." After thinking about what he said for a while I realized its kind of a compliment. I know I am not a true nit in the sense that I suck at poker or play ridiculously tight (maybe slightly tight but not ridiculous). And bumhunting nowadays is so important. You don't want to waste your time pushing chips back and forth and paying rake with regulars. Go out, find the fish, play with them, your winrates will not regret it. At 2/4 there are so many games that you should pretty much always be able to get on a few tables with some fish on them, and if there aren't any others that are good enough for your standards, then just play fewer tables, focus on your opponents, and pwn. Not bumhunting (6max) when mass tabling is a mistake and will turn ya into a rakeback pro real fast. As far as king10 is concerned I think he just PTR's me and sees my full ring stats and thinks I actually play 19/16 at 6max. After he called me a nit I realized that I can get more folds out of him and so far its working pretty nicely. Just goes to show that you can give away too much info right quick in the chat box especially when you mass table and don't adjust to good players correctly.

As far as PZ goes, we are working hard to create a new seeds course and will keep growing and incorporating new ideas to the site as the come along. We are planning on making some nice changes soon, so stay tuned.

See ya at the tables.
