Hi there,

I'm back and trying to make it work for me. As you know I've been in a down both in my mind and in my game. Seems that my game is slowly going up again, but this is not enough if my mind doesn't come along. Yesterday I played a bunch of tournaments and made the money on 3. I finished 150/6500 in a $12.5K GTD that, altough there was not big prize, boosted my confidence because never got so far in such a big field. Also finished 23/300 and other ITM finish that don't remember exact position in my usual UB tournies. I'm glad that I'm winning again because thursday I'm going to a live tourney again (I know, I know I promised a post dealing with live play vs online but, in addition that I haven't had the mood for writing, if I play the tournament from the begining I'm sure I will make a more accurate read (and review).

From study point of view I've taken back the right way. I'm posting again in Pokerpwnage forums, I find useful to read the opinions of others players that give me new ideas and show me which spots could I use to improve. I'm also working in the stuff my new coach suggested to. Watching vids, reading articles and reviewing tournaments with a critic eye is something I've forgot during this month and I'm on again. One thing I'd like to remark is something that happened during my first coaching session: My coach asked me what my ultimate poker dream was. Man, I was never asked something like that and didn't throw me away of my answer, he told me that fulfilling a dream si hard and takes tons of hard work but, if I put the effort and hours, is not impossible. These are very kind words and help to find I light when you find yourself in the dark. I'm gonna study, I'm gonna work and I'm gonna go for it.
Whish me luck for my next tourney and see you soon.

GL at the tables.

PS: I finally found the flat I was looking for and I'm a proud brand new owner. So no more banks, mortage, furniture and related issues. Hope to have the time to play poker now
