2010 in review, Coaching, 2011 goals.

0




2010 is in the books. I improved a ton as a player thanks to my friends and coach. I played in my first WSOP events, and even got to play in the ME which was an incredible experience. I even got deep in the 2500 6m. It was down to the wire, but I made Supernova on pokerstars.

It still amazes me how many mistakes I make in a session. I currently have a plan to improve on my mistakes. I honestly think about 4-6 bb/100 lost due to mistakes, and quite possibly more. I'm currently working with Jared Tendler, and hopefully I will improve a lot of my mental game weaknesses such as tilt, and work ethic.

I would like to work with a few more students, so I'm going to lower my coaching rate to 75/hr. I primarily want to focus on players that are playing 50 and 100nl. I will work with students playing lower, but I feel at these limits, I can fix a lot of the common mistakes that are preventing them from moving higher.

2011 Jan Goals:

I want to start playing 2/4 soon.
60 hrs of poker in January
5hrs of undivided attention of video watching

2011 Year goals:

5/10 6m Reg.
Learn PLO
Play a ton more Headsup.

Good luck everyone. Hope everyone has a successful 2011. I would have made this blog post longer, but everytime I press enter, it scrolls my damn page back to the top.
