Following my PCA cash for $66,000, I've decided I'm not going to play any poker in January. I am just not playing well. I think about stuff well, but my self-control and concentration is not where it should be. I have gotten sloppy (I talked about this in my previous blog).
The good news is my mind is still
sharp as a tack. So, I've decided I'm going to do two things in January. First, I'm going to coach-- as much as I possibly can. I'll be coaching for $1200/hr, but will bump it down to $1100/hr for those who book five sessions in advance. Additionally, if you bought the Memoirs or are a Leggo coach, I will coach for $1000/hr. I will be doing this starting Friday, January 15th until Saturday, January 30th. I am on EST (which I believe is the Poker Stars clock time), and will be coaching from around noon to around midnight, whenever I have people scheduled. So if you're interested, send me a PM and we will book something right away (there will be some exceptions on weekend nights when I'm busy and won't be able to coach). I usually am not interested in coaching and give people some BS excuse about why I don't want to do it, but for these two weeks I'll be pumping out the information into the online poker community. I will coach HU or 6m.
A few things:
1. I am
not interested in staking anyone or doing any profit sharing.
2. If you cannot afford 4-figures an hour, do not PM me. I do not want to hear someone PM me and say, "Man, that was like 1/4 of my bankroll! I thought I would learn how to do magic with your coaching! You are the devil!"
3. Please come prepared. Have something to talk about and a list of questions for downtime (or some hands to go over). You will get out of the coaching what you put into it-- but you can't just be like "Hey Aaron, can you talk about Global Warming?" because
a. I don't know anything about global warming and
. The question is not very specific.
Second, I'm finally going to get around to making a 6 tabling 5-10 video. I think I'm going to play 10,000 hands of 5-10 in January (this doesn't count as playing poker since it's not 25-50+ HU

) in order to "prepare" for this series of videos. I want to get a lot of footage and only put the most interesting parts in (well, realistically I would like it to be a good mix of boring grinding and exciting big pots and weird situations). Anyways, I just want it to be an awesome video series. Not sure what you should expect the first one, a week or 10 days I'd imagine.
Finally, I will have a little bit of a trip report from the PCA I suppose and a little video of the view from our room when my next blog goes up, but to be honest I spent nearly 4 days of my trip grinding in the Main so there aren't as many great stories as there should have been.
Over and out.
