I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed to post a PT 3 graph in my life. Words don't express how upset I am at myself for the performance I put up in April. If I was a major leaguer I'd of gotten demoted to AAA. For 30 days, I turned into one of the people that I make money from. I was an absolute station, if there was a bet to be called, I was in there raising my hand and volunteering. Half pot bet on the river, I call, pot bet on the river, I call, overbet shove (must be a bluff), i call. Simply put if there was a call to make I made it and the results show that it was an epic fail.

There were some bright spots in the month too though. Staking went a lot better than I expected. We managed to find a grinder that has a real talent for the game and if it were not for outside influences, he certainly wouldn't need to be staked. Luckily for us though, we have an agreement that is suitable to both parties and the extra money earned really came in handy. Live poker was also a success, managed to score a few cashes in my local Wednesday night game which helped to pad the coffers. I also played my first live casino session in 2010 and although after an hour I was bored out of my mind, I managed to book a nice profit. Need to play some more in May to get myself ready for Vegas in June and July.

Coaching is continuing to go from strength to strength and I can see my students really getting a grasp of what I have been telling them. To see students come to me and be happy with the sessions we are having is really rewarding. I think there is a big month around the corner for a few of them and hopefully one of them will be ready to move up to a higher limit pretty soon. Once a couple of students have completed the intensive side of our coaching then I will post some testimonials from them on here. Nothing is better for new students than satisfied old students.

I've really began to focus so much more on my game in the first two days of May and it has really shown in the results. I'm assigning ranges better, betting in the correct spots and also, most importantly, finding that fold button.

May will be pretty busy with preparing for Vegas and also some other things on the personal front but I want to hit 120k hands this month and really put in the hours. I'm in Ready 2 Win's 100k prop bet so I don't want to have to ship him $100 at the end of the month.
