So its been 10 days since my last post. Since then I haven't played as much as I would've liked to. I had my coaching session with PHMERC the day after my downswing and I feel it went well. I was introduced to some brand new concepts/tools and reintroduced to things I should have known already. Definitely money well spent. I bought three more sessions with him to be scheduled sometime in the future after I learn the stuff that was taught to me in the first session. I've been doing a lot of poker studying lately and I'm slowly memorizing stuff that I need to memorize. It's hard to squeeze in study time with work and grad school, but I'm managing. He also mailed me a copy of The Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler (props PHMERC). Awesome book so far, I'm so pumped that I got it.
My poker playing has been unstable since my downswing. It really rattled my confidence. Aside from that, with the studying I've been doing I haven't been able to put in good time on the felt. The times that I have played, I've played mostly $8 super turbos just because I'm short on time. I'm not going to play much of them, the variance is crazy high. I find myself in a rush to get back to where I was before my downswing. That's a leak that has to get fixed up quick. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of it, so let's see what the next couple of weeks bring. I'll try to update within the next few days if I'm able to get some decent volume in.
