I haven't been playing the last few days. I felt "off" my game (which is strange because the last two weeks have been very good), but whatever...I generally don't play unless I feel like I'm 100% and I haven't felt that way so I haven't been playing. Today I finally sat down and put in a few hours, I posted a modest win which felt good.

I had my first phone meeting with my coach tonight. I had been really nervous to speak with him (I was a bit intimidated because of his level of experience/skill/etc), but it turns out he's just a regular guy who happens to know a thing or two about poker. We only talked for a few minutes tonight, but I'm really glad I finally made the jump and spoke with him. We reviewed a couple hands and he was able to explain things as we walked through the hand which was very helpful. I'm confident that as time goes on and I can speak with him more frequently it will really improve my play.
