Learn to earn / Software armoury
Just back. Two articles I filed before I left were published while I was away.
The first, this piece about coaching, is the best I’ve come up with yet - certainly the one I learnt most from, for which I have to thank Tommy Angelo, Bob Ciaffone, Donovan Panone, Eric Lindauer, and, once again, Stoxtrader. All their websites are more than worth looking at, though I could spend all day reading Tommy Angelo’s work. Check out ‘Stuck’ for a taste.
Is it time I got some coaching myself? Not quite. There are still plenty of things I’m doing wrong that I know how to do right. But when I’ve ironed out a few of those I think I’ll be giving one of these guys a call. I’d be interested if anyone reading has had any experience getting coached - use the comments link below. Somebody has to say something sometime.
The second piece is about poker software. At least it looks nice. Thanks though to all those who took the time to help, I hope I've done justice to your work.
No poker on Samos, but played plenty of gin with the huggable one. Favourite hand, I’m drawing live to about 5 outs with more than half the deck gone, but I can hardly peg her on anything. I make gin, she frowns and, for once, shows me her hand. “So frustrating, I was so close,” she sighs. I look and giggle. She’s got the 4 fives, 4,6,7 hearts and 7,8,9 clubs or something. She’s had them for about ten turns but still can’t see it. I’d better go win some money on Pacific now - I’m in trouble for telling that story when she gets home from work. It might need some serious making-it-up cash.
