HI first of all I want to get a little thing out of the way and that is my coaching status. I'v not released a video now for over 6months and have decided that it is fairly unlikely that I will do so in the future and as such have resigned from my position as a video producer for the site. I've been in limbo deciding what to do with this, since I don't want to make plo videos and I'd really have to be playing NL day in day out to produce msnl videos good enough for leggo. I could probably do some ssnl stuff but that doesn't really interest me and I'd still be concerned about not being "in practice" at NL. A weird thing with that is that when you haven't been playing/studying a game for a while it REALLY affects your ability (or at least mine) to articulate your thoughts. I'm also off the shelf for private coaching until after vegas (so likely July/August time, I think my coaching page may remain up for logistical reasons so I'l get it updated to that effect).

Now the second part of the blog. Had a very swingy start to the year so far which is kind've unfortunate because the games have been amazing. 25/50 has been softer than 5/10 from what I've played this year and it's just sucked a bit that I've ran pretty bad so far. Fortunately I ran red hot through the end of 09 and I can take the swings without having to drop down for a while when the games are this good. Also had a pretty unsavoury chatbox incident with William Thorson in which he decided to comment on a flop bet I made in a 3b pot 200bb in hand with another player 3 handed after he'd folded. Afterwards I typed in chat "not in the hand plz" so he decides to type lol about 17 times in the chatbox. A quick apology would've been fine but with this response and being a little stuck I had to hu4rollz him, he declined. The full transcript makes for entertaining reading but I'l spare him the embarrassment mainly because I'm too lazy to dig it up.

Quick notes:
1. Bought Assassins Creed II, it's GTA with swords and worse fluff. Pretty fun.
2. I've been watching "One Tree Hill", fml.
3. Congrats Jake for winning EPT Deauville for 850k euros. (yes you're less important than 1 and 2).
4. Make Money/Get Paid:

That's all I'm sure I had a load of interesting things to say but as usual I only think of those when I'm in bed, think oh I'l save that for a blog and then end up forgetting it when I'm typing. Also just to clarify I'l be keeping my blog here and staying active in the forums, just won't be making videos.

Gl,
Rob.
