Decisions,decisions

I think the time has come to seek outside help. The project is still going well and I have moved to the next level at Cake($18.40 + $1.60 Turbo). Yet, something seems like I could be doing better. My numbers aren't miserable by any means, so far this month my overall ROI is 32.02 and I'm showing a profit that should double last months output. I've played 1/6th of what I played last month and am already 1/2 way to the profit totals. Unforunately, I spent 4 days sick last week not playing anything and work has become alittle more demanding. Fortunately, I'm really starting to understand the game on levels that should be obvious if you have half a brain(I may have used/burnt-up alot when I was younger). So, let's talk about the title of today's entry.

I've been spending alot of time reading psychology books about poker and just poker in general. I read the forums at PXF almost religously. I try to study what the professional players are thinking and doing to improve thier game. All that being said, I have decided to take on a coach!! I'm not going to reveal who that is at this point because I like the mystery of it! I will say that I have had lessons from another instructor,"Mscell", who in my opinion, taught me how to play MTTs well enough to have scored 3 wins. I'm looking forward to working with him again once certain goals have been achieved. I will share more info about all this once it happens.

Why do I need a coach, if everything is going so well? I think that outside influence challenges a person to evaluate what they are doing on many levels that they normally wouldn't strive for. As a normal American, I understand that if you're not doing all that you can to improve, you're wasting you're time(I actually don't agree with this view in most cases!!). I am a firm believer in seeking help from people with more experience, depending on what the goal is and what the subject matter involves. My first session will begin tomorrow at 9am. Wish me luck and I'll write about the results soon. Until then, good luck at the tables everyone!!!!!
