Ok I'm bored and rather than complaining nonstop in the monthly I'll start this.
Where I am at:
200nl, 28k, not so good at poker.
Where I want to be:
400/600nl, lol, better at poker.
I have a job after college, graduating this semester, it is a seasonal position . I am pretty excited about it; entry level is meh, pay is meh, hours are redonk awesome, experience I can get will be silly good, my location will be awesome for the summer, and the contacts I will make will be great. Oh and the reputation of this place is retardo high so its a great resume builder (mine stinks).
I start getting coached tomorrow and I'm pretty excited. A few people said I'm ready for 400nl but I dunno just yet. What I have learned though is that no matter how much talent you have; you won't be the best in terms of money(isn't that how we judge poker players?). It will come down to who grinds the hardest and that is seriously probably it. Assuming the talent/thought required to beat that certain game is present.
To further improve my game (besides coaching and hopefully playing a shitload of hands) I have a notebook where I keep concepts I didn't know or HHs that really give me trouble and analyze them. I used to do this for MMA and I realized I kept certain techniques fresh in my mind rather than hoping I remembered a choke from modified scarf mount.
I have always slacked and got by with poker and I guess now I will really apply myself.
Today I had a idea that I ran by Xas and he seemed receptive. Basically my position is seasonal and I want to use my degree knowing I won't be playing poker for a living. I want to further my career while keeping poker in mind; I figured it would look real shitty getting out of college then going right to poker for a while and I'm probably not good enough to bang out 80k a year...(yet?) So off-season here I would move in with Xas, (maybe 40 miles from where I will be working (they provide housing)) and I would play full time in the off season. Thus allowing me to be young, make good money, have freedom, and still be ambitious about my career.
I guess that is where I will leave it for my OP.
lol?

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
