Finally...
I finally stopped thinking about it and did it. I just finished paying for my first coaching session on DeucesCracked. After floundering at $10NL for the last year off and on, I feel like I need the guidance of a more experienced player. Don't get me wrong, the forums are great, but a little incentive for someone to benefit from helping you, goes a lot further than adding one more post to your total post count.
I have been playing $10NL Rush Poker for the last month or so. I won over 50K hands sometime shortly last year in this format, but I think that may have been a bit of a heater, or I am experiencing some negative variance now over an extended period of time. That being said, my redline isn't anything to brag about.
While on the topic of finally getting around to doing something, I am also finally admitting I have no idea what the hell I want to do with my life. A large part of me really wants to take a serious crack at poker. I've accomplished many things in my life by applying my mind to it, so I believe poker would be a matter of commitment as opposed to "am I good enough". Yet, I don't know what will fulfill me over the long run. I'm banking money from the 9-5, trying not to close doors or burn bridges, but I'll soon need to make a choice and deal with what it brings.
I hope coaching will bring more clarity to the subject!

I'm curios in what kind of things have you already accomplished putting your mind into it, which you're talking about. If it's not something too personal ofc.

Hey Sandr1x. No I don't mind you asking. Small accomplishments in my life like learning to play guitar and teaching it for several years, overcoming personal fears, becoming top sales person at my work after setting the goals, beating the tiny 2NL and 5NL stakes with large win rates, and other assorted tasks that took some willpower showed me that I am capable of something if I don't sell myself short and actually believe that I can do it. I suppose I was just taking a look back at the past 4 years and seeing where I came from and how much stood in my way at the time. So, I believe if I say to myself, "I want to make a living doing this" I can do it, if I allow myself to say it.
