Why get a poker coach? That is the question of the day. I have been researching this for about a month. I have found several sites thru PC, and decided to look at each one. Some have lower pricing than others and some have more coaches than others. I don't think I have the income to be able to pay for coaching, so I will continue to try and win my coaching from PC freerolls and tourneys. I read a lot of poker mags and books in hope of getting more ensite on the game. I am also reading many blogs, like Rex55, degenaMatt, and others here. Keep the info coming guys.

I had a really bad month last month and a pretty bad start this month. I play very low limit and I am getting my teeth kicked out. LOL. I have to find out what I am doing wrong. I raise standard 3BB with AA and get called by 73. I go all in with 20BB with AA and get called by 22 with a duece on the river. So I am taking a little break the rest of the week to evaluate my play. I will be playing this weekend I hope. X

I am enjoying - ha! - the same downswinging results. I moved to cash games. I am trying mix games. I continue to be amazed by the counterfeiting, the bad beats, the OOP calls with 2-6 outs which rarely seem to miss... for the opponents. I am a little stunned, to be honest. So, I watch a few hours of cable news and decide losing a few bucks playing the game I love isn't such a horrible thing. Although it still sucks. I decided to study more - books & videos - and play less.

all you can do is keep digging. it only takes a couple of those big hands to hold and your in position to take a tourney down. it will come around, it always does.

I love your passion and enthusiasm for this game...its obvious you are a true student of the game and spend less time complaining and more time focusing on things you can do to improve...its a great example of what a "winning outlook" should consist of.. I am sure your downswing will end soon.. keep it up and the blogging as well.. cheers, rexy
