25% off poker lessons!

I have decided to re-open my coaching services.

Now is the perfect time to improve your game at a huge discount, as I'm offering poker lessons for 25% off!!! Improve your game significantly so when online poker sorts itself out you can annihilate your opponents!

I have decided that I will offer my services at 25% off of what my hourly coaching rate was when I last coached in 2010, which was $250 per hour. It will now be $187.50 per hour. I think this is a great value and you have the added bonus of knowing that I'm a considerably improved poker player since the last time I was coaching students.

My coaching lessons are two hours in length and I feel like a minimum of 5 lessons (10 hours) is ideal for being able to fully convey my knowledge to you and have a significant impact on improving your game. If you choose to purchase a 5 lesson package, I will give you even a further discount of 20% off of the already reduced hourly fee of $187.50 on the entire lesson package. That's only $150 per hour for quality poker lessons! That's a total of 40% off my normal coaching rate!!!

My specialties are NLHE 6 Max cash games and mass tabling. I can help boost your # of tables played by at least a table or two by helping you understand how to use a few secret things that I've discovered in my VPP quest this year... I have slightly over 930k VPPs so far in 2011.

If you would like to contact me about getting lessons feel free to private message me on Cardrunners.com or email me at "Duckslayer2k@gmail.com" and I'd be glad to respond.

The Comeback

Today, I had one of the biggest swings that I've ever had in a single day.

I had a terrible first half of the day, going from +$800 at my high point to being down $3.2k. I swung 10 buyins down over a span of 900 hands. I then just got off my computer and took an hour break. I was demoralized by losing so much over so few hands.

I decided that I'd play one final session of the day so I put on my rally cap...


... and I battled back to recover everything I had lost and actually finished up $91.86 for the day, over a total of 3,635 hands.


Wow. Talk about swongs.

This was the hand that started the downward spiral. The villain is a fish who I had on my buddy list.

Then, I got blindsided here by another fish with a VPIP of 50.

Then I started losing the all-in pre-flop hands. I got in TT vs KK when an aggro regular squeezed me. He was definitely squeeze happy and I know my 4-bet jam is profitable vs him in the long run. He just had me this time.

Another hand I got it all in pre-flop with AK vs another squeeze monkey who's JJ ended up winning the hand.

Then I got owned by a fish again. I was just saying to myself, please don't have KJ, please don't have KJ, please don't have KJ... have AJ, QJ, 67, 45, a flushdraw, etc. ANYTHING but KJ! What did he have? KJ !!!!!

I then got raped in countless medium pots which cost me 50 big blinds or so at least 10 times or so. Most were suckous. Some were cooleres. A few I value owned myself.

I'll post the winning hand that helped me begin my comeback. I think I played this one really well, as I got maxium value from it obviously. I was a bit worried about giving the reg a free card essentially for the flush but I didn't want to scare the major fish out of the pot with a re-raise. Pretty sure this is the biggest pot I've ever won at $2/4 NL online. I scoop a $2.6k pot.

Although it sucks to play that long and essentially break even, getting back to even was a huge accomplishment. I'm pretty proud of the fact that I was able to come back and play my "A" game despite being stuck nearly 8 buyins. That shows a lot about my will to win and determination.

I'm pleased with my effort today, but I'm going to look through my big losers again tomorrow to see if I could have prevented some of the losses.
