yikes! :)

wow, really I was surprised when I took a quick glance at my blog, and saw my latest post dated from last year.. some people must probably think I died already haha...
anyways, a bunch of stuff happened, and yeah I am still living here in Thailand, nothing changed on that area and I am still doing a lot of clicking buttons while expanding on my coaching activities.
Talking about coaching, I got signed and am now official sponsored coach for ENET Asia, which is a poker network that just turned international a year ago, and is probably the fishiest network to date. So far I have created a bunch of coaching groups for microstakes and special introduction programs for all asian countries... one that I recently started was for the Philiphines, where u can see the youtube video below.

So far I have a bunch of new students, so everything is quite busy on that area.. as for my personal grind, things are looking up, games have definitely been a lot tougher lately and winrate is definitely been lower, but I can't complain, still feel I have an edge versus most people :)

Will definitely try to update more (I know, I keep saying that) but I will haha!!

Big Project Coming Soon

Hi guys, sorry for another long period without any updates.. but I have been pretty busy with everything as usual :D The trip to Macau was pretty good, basically it was more a holiday trip then really a working trip, but I did do some other work relating stuff which gave birth to this new upcoming project...

Basically I will be the head poker coach for an existing coaching site and become their official Thailand office.
I can't really reveal any more details, since everything is still in the works and we still need to work out a proper structure.. but just know you will be able to get quality poker coaching soon at an affordable price from quality coaches from Thailand poker pros. Awesome no? ;)

I am very excited about this project, because it will also mean that there will be a lot of great opportunities like, people moving over and living in our Thailand grinders house to get live coaching, which is obviously a lot better and have a taste of Thailand's great nightlife ;)
Don't miss out on this chance of a lifetime!

more details will be following soon!

poker robot

Yep, have been working my ass off, did like 60k hands in 2 weeks and I'm up in overall + getting a ton of rakeback, so it's been all good past month. Going to get ready now for my live grind in Macau :) Flying in on this Wednesday, hope I run good this time, but I think I need a small break from the online grind anyways. I just booked a one way ticket, so I don't really know when I will be back to Bangkok... I guess I will just see how things fare over there (or when I run out of Hong Kong Dollars lol).

Got a sick promotion right now for the APT Manila main event, upcoming this 21st of August, so I'm definitely going to participate in that one as well, hope I can pick up a good cash once in my life in a big tournament event.. I feel ready haha :D

Will try to write another Macau trip report once I get back.. and I hope my students won't go busto while I'm away, because I won't be bringing my laptop this time, so it will be hard for me to be very reachable.

Cheers!

The Good and The Bad

I guess I should start with the bad :p things haven't been working out very well at the tables, I ran like a dog on the high limit tables which got me in a horrible downswing, and I'm stuck a ton of monies for the last month :(

What about the good things then? during the bad run I did work a lot on my game and my biggest weaknesses, which is mainly heads up, so I got coaching for that and it has been paying off a lot for sure. I feel lot more comfortable now playing in HU situations.
I guess I can't really say I have been playing very bad, just very unlucky and a ton of cooler spots. Oh and meanwhile I picked up staking a friend (and coaching him also), and the rest of my students are doing very well, all of them are up on the microstakes, well maybe not all of them. Only my brother in law who is gambling on the midstakes with no bankroll is stuck a little bit :p But that's his own choice, he still is up on overall though :p The rest have been going stable and making profits for like 6 or 7 weeks in a row now. Small amounts but well its microstakes :p I guess that makes me proud as well that the work they have put in is paying off.

I got a trip planned back to Macau end of this month, get out of the online grind for a bit and hope to do better this time in the live grind. I feel very confident about my game right now, so let's hope for the best. Oh I switched playing on a different site now also, mostly because there were almost no midstakes games running anymore on my previous site.. back to holdem manager and HUDs :D well at least I can post some graphs in the future so you can see how clearly below EV im running haha ;)

good luck to you all
