anyone here interested in getting coached by me for full ring poker, NL50/NL100/NL200?
pm me if u are even remotely interested or curious. just wanted to see if theres any demand for full ring coaching lol. i can pm u with any details or info straight away. thanks! as for whether i mean paid or free coaching, well i dont know yet, so i cant say. but just feel the need to teach
about me: have played full ring forever, literally since the beginning of time. back when jesus and dinosaurs roamed the earth in peace. im talking about way before the cold war. if u think 6max is a superior game, i dont think we can be friends and at the moment im playing NL200 and NL400, usually at the same time
wanted to ask: do you think it's useful or worth having a 3 monitor setup? have 2 monitors at the moment and i use the alternative one a lot more than i thought i would. which makes me wonder if 3 would be even better, but at the same time it could be a waste of money/desk space. input from anyone with 3 monitors would be appreciated.
(i'd only use the other monitors for other stuff like browsing and general use, not using them to play poker)

also wrote my own song in a program called FL studio, same thing i used to attempt a remix in my last blog post. but its kinda shitty at the moment, will probably upload it once i make it sound better
just summing up what i've been doing since my last update... kinda longish, i tried to throw in some pictures to make it interesting
cliffnotes is i played 140k hands in december 24 tabling mostly NL100, made 4k in winnings and 4k in rakeback/bonuses in december, got through the biggest downswing of my life so far, finished up about 30k including rb/bonuses in 2008, and i need to trade 4k stars for 4k ftp pm me if u can help! thx
December Graph incl. Rakeback/Bonus
my goal for december was to hit the 200k VPP milestone bonus, partly for the money and partly to motivate myself to play every day to hit a target. i 24 tabled for the entire month which makes it a bit harder to play my A game but i don't mind it.
December Stats
the month didn't start too well... in the last few days of november i hit a doomswitch and it continued into the early days of december too. i was getting scared because my recent plan was to cash out my money up to a certain point (~30 buyins) at the end of each month and so i had cashed out a couple of thousand at the end of november. all full ring.
my roll dropped down to about 20 buyins in the first week. the point that i got really pissed off was when suddenly my auto reloader stopped working and i realised i was starting to go busto
Downswing (late november to late december):
so i deposited another 2k that i'd cashed out previously, it felt dirty but i didn't want to have to move down if possible... anyway after a while i realised it wasn't a smart idea to keep playing 1/2 because every man and his dog was playing there, and the tables were rediculously regfested. coupled with running bad and confidence being low, wasn't a good idea. meanwhile, the nl100 tables were still largely a fish fest and the regs fold their blinds 90%+ there so in the end it was an easy decision. it did mean id have to play more hands for VPPs though. so i battled it out at nl100 instead and managed to get some results there and also make my milestone, just in time too before i had to go for NYE. and it felt so good to finally end my extremely long breakeven stretch.
lately i've been trying to learn how to play razz, i even purchased PT Stud, but so far i've dropped $50 there and i feel like a fish... i'll probaly stick at it when i'm not in the mood for normal hold em, and hopefully one day i'll be good enough to make a profit at the 30/60 games.
in australia, i am still on uni break until march, but current plan is to gym and play some poker for the next few weeks, then work at my local government's engineering department in my home town for the rest of it. in december i've worked out i've made about $100(AUD)/hr including playing nl100 because of the exchange rate and rakeback/bonus... the job will pay about $16/hr
Australian currency
so moneywise, its not such a great decision but i am still looking forward to going back to work as i get on well with the guys who work there, including my boss and it's pretty laid back. and it'll be good to have a spell of "normal" work, as awesome as poker is sometimes i miss the cups of tea/coffee at morning tea, office politics, having drinks with co-workers and so on.
til then, going to try and go to the gym at least once every two days, eat healthy and attempt to cook sweet and sour pork at least once. im not asian but i love asian food (mostly chinese, but havent really tried others, let me know if there is something i am missing out on).
trippy picture i saw on facebook today (you may shit bricks)
Final note: I am looking to move approx. $4,000 from pokerstars to . I've never done a trade before for anything above $20, but i would really appreciate if someone could help me trade this money. PM me if you might be able to help, and/or need money moved from FTP to stars, i can send first etc. Cheers =)
in soccer/football if your team gives away a foul in the penalty box it's usually a spot kick, but if it's a less serious offence then the other team gets an indirect free kick in the box, which means it has to touch a team mate before you can score from it
must be a bitch having to defend against these
watch at 0:48, the entire team just charges but still gets owned
