Female poker geek anonymous

ow, long time no write. And all while so much was happening in my poker life. Pretty strange that the period where I should be writing the most, where my most life changes are happening is the period where I shut down. I don't know, part of it is that I want to talk like it's a finished product, like if I have some ending to the process my writing will seem neater. But our journey is never actually finished, so I should take the blog for what it is - a work in progress. Anyway, on to the stuff in my life. I will only write about the DC coaching gig in this blog post. Will try to post more about live poker, "embracing the variance" and other happenings during the week...

*grin* I iz a DC coach now!

Wanna be thankful to the crew at DC for the vote of confidence. I have done coaching for friends before, but it was always pretty informal. I took it very seriously, but never actually thought about doing it like a professional. But eventually I just asked myself "why not?". The people have always been pretty happy with my suggestions. They are generally in agreement that I have a semblance of understanding of LHE - even if we all know that I'm stuck at the small stakes, haha. Anyway, if you are in need of LHE coaching at the micros level - I'm your gal!

Plus, I've got some good ideas for videos. Just stay tuned! Presenting has always been my thing. At work, I hate publishing, I have this aversion to writing. Weird, I know, that a person that writes so much on her blog says that, but the blog is actually often a means to get my writer's block away. But what I do love, besides the actual science, is teaching the science. It only takes one student, one person to which I can pass that enthusiasm, maybe even passion that I feel for the subject, then it has not been in vain. Teaching is often a thankless job, but the nice thing about teaching adults - they aren't forced to be there. So if people are there voluntarily, they are much more receptive to the teacher's excitement and then they in turn, reflect that excitement back and in the end it becomes a huge buildup of excitement during which great stuff is learned and produced. Or maybe you just need something for that insomnia after that last session... I do have a quite soothing voice in my videos.

But what really got me were the congratulations by people all over the poker world. People I didn't really know or just had glanced over their posts on 2p2, were sending me PMs, Twitter messages or just congratulating me in threads. Also, for the friends that DO know me, their messages via Skype and Facebook were very nice. I was walking on cloud number 9 for several days after. Even now, I still have to smile when I remember them. Thank you all so much!
