I saw Arlo Guthrie live a few days ago. The guy is fucking awesome. He's funny as hell and he can sing a whole bunch of different things really good.
"Comming into Los Angeles"
"St. James Infirmary" (classic old blues standard)
"Evangelina" (Crappy country)
"This land is your land" (his dad's most known song)
In my darkest hour (great song)
Check him out if you have the chance. The guy seems like a soberish version of that guy in that film with the dude from the Big Lebowski and that guy that was in Miami Vice.
For this first time in something like 4 years I did not manage to make 100k€. I wasn't even close. That sucks less then you'd think.
I came really close to make a ton of money a bunch of times. I lost KK vs 99 for ~half the chips in play in the main event of the Swedish online poker championships and busted for 3k€ instead of 100k+ in first place money (it's top heavy, heh). I had a few good months and then I had a bunch of bad ones.
I played far to little, I did not study the game enough and I took some bad decisions regarding bankroll management (tilt cashing out, playing to high on a tight roll etc) and overall I underperformed. One bad year does not equal a trend, and I've figured out what I did wrong and how to fix it.
What did I do wrong?
- I did not play enough.
- I did not study enough.
- I took bad decisions.
Motivation is hard to come by sometimes. However, a friend called me and offered me a position as a "team pro member" on their site and now I'm doing a ton of cool stuff to make the most of it. I'll coach 10-15 people starting in less then 2 weeks and I'm very motivated to make sure that they'll be happy with it. I'll make sure to watch a video a day, spend at least 3 hours each day playing or studying poker and I'll cut out crap from my life that I don't need. Everything I do should be focused on the following:
- Becoming a better Poker player and poker coach.
- Getting back in some kind of reasonable shape.
- Being a good boyfriend.
- Passing a few exams.
- Turn this "team pro"-thingy with Bettingboys.com into something really good.
I'm done with my law degree, but I'm taking some philosophy classes while waiting for my girl to get hers so that we can move away. I'm fairly sure I'll stop drinking and I'll make sure to eat healthier, I've really slacked in that department lately and it sucks.
