Main event coming up again and I'm definitely going to play. Hopefully can make a slightly deeper run than last year (196). I'm looking to sell about half my action. You guys let me know what you think is a reasonable markup. I'll take the best offer.

So I'm planning on travelling to Eastern Europe this summer and am going to be looking for a place to live permanently. A friend has invited me to Bucharest this summer to check it out and show me around, so while I'm there I'd like to also stop by and check out some other places.

I'm looking for any kind of information or experiences you guys might have had in these places and recommendations regarding which cities you think are best. A very important requirement is that the general population be able to speak a decent amount of English. I'd like to travel to 4 or 5 different cities and then make a decision from there. I'm not interested in anywhere outside of Eastern Europe.

EDIT--If there's anyone in that part of the world that would be interested in taking an afternoon to show me around the city I'd be very grateful. I could in return share some poker knowledge, or take an hour to review a video of your play.

Thanks.

Figured I might as well put this up here too just in case...

I'm trying to sublet my current apartment. Not that there's anything wrong with this one, it's actually super nice. I just found one that's not so expensive yet still fits all my needs.

Even if you wanted to just stay for a month or two that would be cool, I just desperately need to get someone in here because rent is very high. Rent is $2900. Here's some pictures and the ad:


















**180 degree view of Sail Bay all the way down to the roller coaster in Mission Beach**

**Fully equipped with all high efficiency appliances**

**Well maintained, classy, quiet condominium complex** (San Remo)

Other amenities include:

Oversized community hot tub

Parking spot in gated garage

Close to the 5 and the 8 freeways

Fanuel Park and the beach are literally in your backyard

-------------------------------------------------------------------


The landlord is also a great guy who is understanding and always willing to help to make sure you are happy in your rental so I very much regret the fact that I must move. Once you get here, you'll probably never want to leave.

I signed a deal to make 18 videos at runitonce over the next 12 months. Thought some of you might like to know.

Been running kind of bad in poker the last few weeks. Funny that whenever I post about big wins I seem to hit a downswing almost right after maybe 4 times out of 5. Very weird. Looks like only going to profit 15k for last month. Also I busted my ACR roll trying to play 25/50 and have run like 10k under expectation @ PLO so probably need to find a way to get some more funds on there.

That's all, GL

I have too much time on my hands lately. So I feel like I should get back into coaching. And I'm going to make it more affordable. I'm going to drop my rate to $200/hr so hopefully I'll be able to reach some of the guys playing 2/4 as their highest game. Also I'll do packages of maximum 5hrs for $900. I can't commit to spending anymore than 5 hours with anyone though. I doubt it'd take me more than that to teach anyone smart enough to hire me the things I know that they don't know anyways.

The strongest aspect of my game is my default game. This is why I'm so successful at anonymous tables. I have an edge over most because my game isn't built around making adjustments to others. The reason I have so much success has to do with the strength of my fundamentals built upon my default game combined with my extremely disciplined and regimented attitude with regards to my approach to the mental aspects of poker. I.E. playing when in a strong mindstate, undisturbed by any outside influence and with the intent to focus on getting each individual decision right every time. In a different manner of saying, I've become increasingly more efficient as a poker player.

I used to struggle on the mental game aspects of poker. It took me a long time, but now almost getting into my 8th year as a pro and with more than 5 million hands of experience I feel like I'm getting close to mastering them. I rarely at all, if ever, tilt anymore. I used to think it was BS if somebody would say they never tilt because there are so many different kinds of tilt and I had thought it was impossible to recognize them all whenever one of them started to creep up. The true cure to eliminating tilt though is twofold. One, you have to be extremely self critical. The things that constantly go through my mind are: 1. Was this last decision I made the right one?/Could I be employing a stronger base strategy? 2. Was there anything affecting my decision outside of trying to make the best play? The thing I've seen it come to as far as being able to eliminate tilt, you have to combine this mindset with being the best quitter. This is something I believe I'd have good advice to help anyone improve at. I know the words that you need to hear in order to get yourself to finally do what you know is best for your game because I'm one of the most stubborn people I've ever met and it's taken me so long to finally convince myself.

This doesn't mean I don't think I wouldn't have good exploitative strategies and advice to give to people who play non anonymous games as their main games. I still flourish in those at stakes below 25/50NL. It's just a different approach is necessary to have success there.
If you'd like to apply send an e-mail to marshall28coaching@hotmail.com

Just tell me what stakes you play, what areas you are looking to improve in, when you'd like to start, and provide your skype contact information.
