Long week of poker

Its been a long week for me.  Poker has been of course on the menu, but so has the terrible weather.  Its just been horrible in the UK so I haven't been outside at all basically.  That makes it a long old week.  Sitting in front of a screen for 4 hours a day can be very boring.  The money was good - playing 4 sit and go tournaments at a time is easy and quite stimulating mentally, but the truth is that often I just miss having people to speak to.

Even the lessons I have given this week were online.  The clients and I use Skype to talk to each other and then we can share a screen at the same time across the internet.  Its clever stuff, but not quite the same as being able to sit and chat.  No matter though, the clients being mentored liked it, so thats all that matters in reality.  We set some poker goals for them over the next three months and played some head to head so I could assess how good they were.  As it turned out one was a complete novice and one was not bad at all.

The novice is going to work their way through all thirty video lessons on poker and then get back to me for more one to one poker tuition.  Meanwhile the guy who is a good online player wants to go to a casino, so we're heading off to Vegas in seven days time to make it work for him.  Vegas is still the place to have some real poker fun, and that's where he wants to go, so as it fits in with my schedule then off we'll toddle.  Virgin Atlantic as ever!  Pity really as I would like to fly BA but they are always so much more expensive

That's if for now.  Here's hoping that the weather is nicer for tomorrow and that I get to go to the casino for a few hands Friday evening.

Luck cards.
