This is going to be a long list of things that have been happening and are going to happen. Enjoy!
.

1. I landed in Boston today with my dog
2. I took a 6hr nap today. Best idea ever imo
3. I’ve watched a ton of “It’s Always Sunny…” with the lady this week
4. Jetblue continues to be the best airline ever
5. The spicy yellowtail roll at Sen is amazing
6. I went with my GF to drop off her son at the first day of school.
7. Wedding Crashers is an excellent movie
8. The fruit/veggie drinks I have been making are awesome
9. Carrot/apple/strawberry/banana/tomatoe = an awesome combo
10. I went to the beach today for the first time in a loooong while…

Everything else has been going well. I have a group coaching session tomorrow night which should be a lot of fun. And then I’m heading up to the lakehouse on Friday to chill out with family for the Labor Day weekend. And with that said, I am going to go nap for awhile and get my sleep schedule on track. Hope all is well!

This is a 40 minute video that will improve your draw play. Everything from default lines to creative lines, and heads up to MW pots are covered. If you need some help playing your draws, this video is perfect for you. There are also many visuals and usages of various software to ensure that everybody gets the most from this video! Attached with this video is my draw chart to save you the time and effort of creating your own (and I explain how to use the chart in the video). Here is the trailer for this video:

.

And here is a basic table of contents for this draw video:

Playing draws in single raised pots
Playing draws in 3bet pots
Calculating our equity (quick tricks and understanding ranges)
Understanding SPR and how it relates to draws
Understanding G and how it relates to draws
Creating lines in heads up pots
Creating lines in multi-way pots
Understanding the draw chart
Visualizing equity and equity drags
And more!

.
The introductory price for the video is $24.99, a great value for anyone needing some help with draws. I currently accept payments via PayPal, and offer discounts for buying multiple videos at once (the more you buy, the more you save!). Just email me at splitsuit@gmail.com and I’ll make you a deal you can’t refuse =)

Happy grinding!

I recently watched a documentary on Netflix called “Fat, sick, and nearly dead” which was all about a guy with the qualities listed in the title that went on a massive juice fast. I liked the premise and decided to start changing my diet a bit. I am only 3 days into it…but so far it seems very manageable and my body is liking it thus far. I am simply replacing 1 meal per day with a healthy juice/smoothie type thing with all my servings of vegetables and fruits in it. It should cut down my caloric intake, and also provide my body with the nutrients it wasn’t getting before. We’ll see how I feel in a few weeks…but so far, I am very happy and would suggest this to pretty much anyone.
.

.
So that is one change. Another is that I am trying to get better at enjoying THIS moment…not just constantly planning/thinking and glossing over “living in the now” (as much as I hate that phrase). I think I am doing much better at it…although it is a slow process and very unnatural for me. It just all boils down to balance, and that is what I am really striving for. Hopefully in time it just becomes 100% standard =)
.
I also just finished recording a new premium video for this site. I did a full video on playing draws and plan on releasing a full draw commitment chart with it as well. I think the video came out really well and should help those who suck with draws…or players looking for a little help conceptualizing draws and their profitability. I plan to get that video up for sale by next week…but my schedule leading up to my vacation got really busy at the last minute. O well…better busy than slow I suppose =)
.

.
And with that said, I am going to finish some GP work, prep a video, and relax before dinner. Also, life protip #997 = get a girl friend that cooks incredibly well! Things with the lady are going very well…and hopefully they continue to do so. Hope all is well with everyone!

My bad for the silence. I’ve been pretty busy the last few weeks (between the new GF and work and new projects popping up)…but overall I am feeling pretty damn strong. My brain is firing well, I feel great physically (between eating better and getting out more), and I am finding a nice balance in work and relaxing. I still suck at the relaxing part…but I’m not feeling as bad when I take a half-day here and there…which is nice for once, lol
.

.
I have been releasing some good stuff over at PokerBank for those who are watching. I released a video where I reviewed a collection of AJ hands from an older DB. I was pretty ruthless…so if you like watching hand history review type videos…you will probably enjoy that. I also have some other videos in the pipeline which I think will be liked (including a video on stealing and a video reviewing a user’s hands at 200NL). I’m just trying to get all of my videos created before I head out to Boston so that I can actually treat Boston as a vacation instead of my normal workation. I also released a splitsuit bio over there…so if you are interested, read away! (just scroll down on that page)
.
GP stuff is also going well. I had 3 “big” StumbleUpon days last week, which really spiked the hell out of my traffic. As much as I love SU traffic, it always skews the hell out of my data because it massively lowers my avg time on site and my bounce rate. However, it is fun to see some of that traffic get converted into regular users. I am also slowly but surely growing the Twitter account for GP ( @g_playlist ), and will focus on YouTube and FB stuff later down the line (they are there, but I’m not focusing much attention to them). If only there were more hours in a day (or if it was making money so that I could buy a team =) ).
.
Everything else is going well. Last week sucked a bit as I had to spend a fair chunk of dollars on my car. But past that I did Cosmo Pizza with the lady friend, walked the strip, ate well, and relaxed well. I honestly feel like I am peaking right now…but I am doing my best to just enjoy it and trying not to look too far ahead. I’ve never been good at living in the moment…but I’m doing my best to improve there. On a slightly unrelated note, I am planning on releasing a video for this site soon. I am going to release a premium video on playing draws which will include a chart for SPR and G draws. So if you are struggling on draws…keep your eyes peeled =)
.
And on that note, I am going to go finish some GP work and then kick it. Hope all is well!

I’ve recently linked up with CoachingTokens.com to offer free coaching!

My bad for the lack of updates. Time has just really escaped me over the last week or so. I have been spending pretty much everyday with the girlfriend and just enjoying our time. Because of that I have been a bit laxed on my work responsibilities…but I am fine with that and considering this time a rest. And speaking of that, I decided to redesign my 1 month trip to Chicago/Boston and just take a 1 week trip to Boston instead. A decision that I think is by far and away the most +EV =)
.

.
Things with the lady have been really well. We’ve just been doing a whole bunch of random shit from sushi to Freemont to playing pool and enjoying getting to know eachother. I’m having a hard time shutting off the left side of my brain which just wants to run various analysis on what the relationship will look like when the honeymoon phase is over…but I am doing my best to just enjoy the moment and bask in good feelings. And rather than looking at this good time as a massive upswong I will consider it regression to the mean =)
.
It should also be noted that I had a new video or so get released on PokerBank. I did a “Preflop Planning” video that I think turned out really well and shows a bunch of my mental checklists for various situations. If you think your PF game could use some growing, I would suggest checking it out (and it’s pretty graphical plus only 38 minutes). I also have some more videos coming out in the future, so make sure to stay tuned and keep an eye out!
.
Everything else is going well. I had a record day on GP the other day (~900 visits in a single day), and things have been going well. I have also started writing some bloggy type posts on there, including this one where I did a self portrait in MSPaint. And on that note, I am going to go make one more playlist for GP before crashing out. Hope all is well!
