God my blog titles are boring. I'l try harder in future, it's late and I just wanted to write some things down.

The coaching session at the weekend went ok but I'm pretty doubtful as to whether he will have the time/dedication/ability to make a decent living playing online poker. I'm going to do my best but it's obviously a two way thing and if he isn't getting hands in during the week and applying the stuff we talked about AND actively trying to use all the resources available to him, it will be an uphill struggle. I'm thinking of doing 100vpip with him next week to get him some tough spots and break his thought processes down.

I got back to Doncaster Monday afternoon and bought NBA2009 and Brothers In Arms for PS3. NBA looks like a really sick game and I can imagine with all the features it's awesome if you follow the sport closely. I watch the odd game but I prefer NFL, football, boxing, cricket. Still I'm gonna start a dynasty up soon and hopefully get in to it because the gameplay looks really good. BIA is quite an original fps with standard fps gameplay alongside all the tactical and strategic nuances of using the rest of your units to get through different missions. The cut scenes however are super lame and way too long which is even worse since you can't even skip thorugh them.

I hardly played any poker on Monday. I started up a session but about 30mins in I was getting frustrated by people just sitting and leaving after 5 mins so I decided to quit and play ps3. I played a bit more today and had 3 sessions vs 3 good regs and ended a buyin down after about 2000 hands.

Tomorrow I need to get to the gym by midday! I also need to book San Jose flights or try and get some money for my seat, not decided whether to go or not but I need to make plans asap. I'm also going to give my old guitar teacher a ring and see if I can start lessons again. I'm considering buying a strat since they're cheap and good house guitars, my Ibanez kinda cuts straight through walls and i'd like something a little different at the moment. S'all for now.
