so, i got myself another coach today. i liked my coach right now, BK, he's awesome, but i think its good to have a 2nd opinion of how your play is

basically, his first impression of my play is identical to BK's: "you seem to play very solid and have a good fundamental understanding of the game. I can assure you are a winner."

it is really great to hear someone who's better say those kind of words to you. its juts so encouraging, especially since i'm in sucha gay ass downswing right now. i'm not gona go out and say what i'm gona change about my game because i think some of my opponents have been reading my blogs and trying to pick my game apart but i just have to say the session with the new coach was extremely interesting. he thinks very different then me, post flop that is. not VERY, but the things he think about are much more subtle but they will add up in the long run.

i think it was very +ev for me to pay him to watch me play tonight as I again see that i have ALOT of leaks, not major, but minor leaks to work on plugging. i'm always trying to perfect my game and i will do so until i die one day. tomororw i'm gona play some more good solid poker and hopefully get myself up a couple of buy ins so i can get on the winning track again. the cards weren't so terrible for tonight but still kinda bad.....one hand

-so awesome. made a perfect read and a TOUGH call just to get rivered. the other guy who folded said he had the nut flush draw. so i was up against a 7 outer. sigh. i hate it when i make sucha good read but still get sucked out anyway. what can i say, i got it in as a favorite (74%) so i guess poker just hates me right now

if any of you want a second opinion on your game, i have someone that will be able to check out your game. him n i started playin poker together but we have some distinctly different styles although i believe our mentality is the same. he's very knowledgable and definitely can help ppl beat the lower stakes games
