I am loving 2010 already. Landed in Vegas early on Friday. Was a tough flight because I was running on a 1hr nap, but no complaints overall. Got picked up, chilled around the house, and headed down to the strip for dinner. My X-GF was in town with her BF, sister, and a bunch of friends, so I met up with them, ate, and decided not to go out to the club and go crash instead. Def the best choice, lol.
Put in some session on Saturday then headed back down to the strip. My college friend had just finished her drive across country so I went down to meet her. Did the usual thing and played flippong over at Blondies with Jon and Randy as well, and met one of Jamie’s friends who was a cool kid. Def felt good to get out of the house and socialize a lil bit. I feel like I don’t do that enough. Got back at home around 4a and got some sleep before my coaching sessions on Sunday.
In case I didn’t write about it earlier, I started a deal this year with a player to coach him and I get 1/2 his profits for the year. The kid is a fucking beast. Worked him from 10NL to 50NL already, and he’s putting in retarded volume. It is really cool seeing full progress from a student, because usually I just work with someone and then I hear an update here-and-there, but don’t get to see exactly how they progress. This is a really cool experience and is currently acting as my protege program that I wanted anyway. Hopefully this is a big year for both of us =)
Did 3 students today, did the gym, and now I’m tired as hell. Probably going to play a lil Halo and crash out. I want to get some sessions in tomorrow before coaching at night. Hopefully all is well!

What are your screenames on Tilt ans Stars?
Good to hear.
Dont worry about Splits SN worry about the beast he is coaching.
hey Digger,
Some people for some weird crazy reason want to see how good of a player someone is before hiring them as a coach….
Shawn, I am negative on my FTP PTR (Its RIGGIGGITY), and have a small + sample on PS PTR (7curse).
I can provide actual DB screen shots of my WR if you want via email. I am not the biggest winner, about a 2.2PT/100 lifetime winner on an average of 14 tables.
I also have the question: why is your ptr profile… as it is. I rly like your vids and thought i see a hot or burning pokerplayer, but a 0,32 bb/100 in nl100 (ofcourse the small sample and pretty old ones((and why is that))) i wouldnt like to end up like this after your leakbuster for example( which i was planning in my head)
did you read the above Karel?
Also, I’ve had over 150 satisfied students, not a single negative review, and many students that haven gone on to beat 100NL and such.
I mean you can take a site that has missed over 250K of my hands in tracking for it’s word, or take the actual proof….
well, i saw all the positive comments and couldnt belive what i saw in ptr as that website hasnt missed my hands somehow.(do you know why the site missed your 250k hands?) dont thing i’m having a doubt about you, just wondering (such a negative ad on ptr.com, isnt it?)
because the bulk of my hands on FTP were played in 2008, when the tracking was really bad on PTR. Like i said, I have no issues, and have done this many times in the past, shown my DB via email.
2009 was a fairly light volume year due to business projects that never panned out and taking a lot of time off to coach and live life in a more stressless way.
I plan on grinding much harder in 2010, so my PTR by the end of the year, on PS anyway, will be cleared up (I may go back and try to fix my PTR on FTP, but the games are currently unplayable there, and thus why I never play there anymore)

Hey Split,
What are the games at FTP unplayable?
1.) the shortstack issue has yet to be rectified. It is nearly impossible to get 10+ tables that dont have 3+ shortstackers on them.
2.) because of this, the only “playable” tables are reduced to “deep” tables. but these are infested with solid regs…these regs being much better, imo anyway, than PS regs
of course, this is all imo. But a big part of the reason why 95%+ of my NLHE play was on PS last year and will be this year until min BI is raised on FTP (which is supposed to happen this month…and will be interesting to see the dynamic it creates)

He could have a PTR like mine – then you would really worry.
The issue is really do you think he can help your game.
If yes, then the only issue you should have is price.
If the price is right for you.
I would suggest trying it out.
I have discussed hands with him plenty of times.
He has a good handle on things.
thank you Digger =)
