13th Update

Well a bunch of the same old same old, playing out bonuses on Mansion and Full Tilt at the moment. Learning that variance is a fickle biatch, played won and lost, played some more, trained, played, trained, played, lost and won and lost some more.

Dealing with the death of my brother and back at work so poker is going slow only able to play in my spare time. A few more weeks left of soccer and baseball and then I will be able to play more during the week on my SnG game. Haven't played many multi-tables as of late and still seem to have a strong addiction to free rolls.

Almost totally quit smoking... NOT, I put off quitting for a few weeks until I can get a grip on life. I played a bunch of Sng's in the Full Tilt madness promotion and found one of the new sng pros from PokerVT at my table, abarone68, dang he is solid and I now I have soo much more to learn and will find that having many different instructors to be very helpful.

Also PokerDerk is starting a new Sng contest for the members and I look forward to playing in some of the games and taking my shot at making it into the top of the members.

Along with the weekly Bounty tournament I believe PokerVT to be a great asset to learning and training while working on my game.

Pokerstrategy.com has also been a great help with the many many videos available and the live coaching that goes on daily. I have also been playing around with some ICM trainer programs they have available to members and feel all of it will totally help to improve my game.

Hours spent training and improving my poker game: average of 1/day
Hours spent watching other players at my buy in levels: 1/day
Hours spent working on blog: 1 hour in the last 4 weeks
Hours spent playing: 2/day average, if you count the weekend all nighters'! :)

Days off: Wednesday and Thursday.

Still enjoying the junk food of take out and not cooking at home so much. Healing from my pulled leg muscles, as I seem to re-pull them every time I am running to first base or am chasing down fly balls. Looking forward to play offs and my mixed league team has a strong chance of winning it all. My all guy team, well that's another story.

Don't forget if you haven't checked it out to go to Poker strategy, the link is on the right of the blog. They have "free" training and videos, live coaching, programs, rake back, $5o free starting capital as well as many monthly promotions. All of which can only help you progress as a poker player and improve your game.

PokerVT is also a great place to check out as it is continually adding new pros with lots of different insight to playing and improving your game.

My old favorite coach has also started a new training site for free.

Cheers! See you at the tables and best of luck, just not against me!
