Travels, Ramblings, and some good'ole Poker

It's 2011 and I'm stuck 37k in props.  Yes, I bet $100/point on a neutral ev game (with some bonuses mixed in) and 11 hours later I dropped 37k.  

I've taken two trips to Vegas in the last 4 months and with each trip I've become more and more degen.  This takes the cake (I'm actually up on Vegas lifetime, eat it bitches!).  I was pretty mindblown to experience such a loss playing a neutral ev game but it happens.  I'm grinding as hard as I can before I leave for Australia next Tues.  So far it's going OK.  Can you tell my work with Tendler has really paid off?

I re-discovered a big leak in my hu plo game.  It's a leak I've known about for 6 months and I subconsciously thought I was fixing it.  Well I wasn't and looking at my graphs today, I couldn't believe my eyes.   This laziness, this haphazard approach to fixing my plo game has gone long enough.

How inappropriate that I, a pro, be so lazy that I let this happen.  Henceforth, from Jan. 7th 2011 forward, I will make a much stronger effort to fix my leaks in this god forsaken fucked up game of variance.  

2011 has been rough so far but if it weren't for road bumps like these, I'd never reach my potential.

I'm leaving for Australia next Tues.  If you guys are out there, let's grab some food or drinks.  I'm going to sydney, melbourne, auckland, south island for 3 weeks. 

Also, I will soon be blogging on my new site.  This doesn't mean I'm leaving DC as a coach, it just means I won't be blogging here anymore.  My blogsite is a business project I've been wanting to run for awhile. It's about time I start.

My 2011 resolutions:

My list is long.  I'm pretty confident I'm going to get 90% of this done.

-Get really competent in HU plo

-Get competent at full ring and 6max plo

-Develop a strong hu badugi game

-Develop a strong hu triple draw game

-learn more about real estate and the stock market

-start learning spanish and korean!

-learn to cook WELL

-develop some bruce lee muscles

-develop my website

-improve tremendously at photography

-play much more poker

-Enjoy 2011 at least 2x as much as 2010

Starting off the year 2 strikes down, only looking forward now.
