I didn't plan it this way, but I got to do a little bit of everything yesterday - everything, that is, except contribute to my envelope. Hopefully that will come on Friday evening.
Playing: .75 hours, online
Reading: 30 minutes, Mike Caro and Tom Sexton websites
Watching: 1 hour 2013 ME Final Table coverage
I took a few notes from Caro's website; more stuff to review before live play. I think what I need to be careful of is trying to do too much at once. Better, I think, to focus on one area, master it, and then move on. Much like Major Winchester in M*A*S*H.
During the ME broadcast, Tina and I discussed a few of the hands, something we always do without even saying we're going to do it. I love it, because I love seeing her passion and intelligence, and I always learn something. I've said for a long time that if we could combine her skill with my patience and confidence/attitude, we'd have one hell of a poker player. She made a comment last night along the lines of "that's not a good play. These guys are all way better than me but I know better than that!"
I scoffed. "You're right, you do know better. But it's not because they are way better than you, because they're not. Period."
Of course, she then scoffed, but I know I'm right. I've seen it happen. The only things she lacks are experience and confidence. Someday when we have the time and I'm feeling up to it, I want to really pick her brain, do something like a coaching session where she can pass me some tips. I have avoided that in the past because of the SFPT, but we're beyond that now, with me wanting to take my game to the next level.
I also decided I need to invest in some true training software, because online play just isn't cutting it. Some more research is needed into exact titles. A quick search on eBay the other night was pretty much fruitless, but with a title in hand I should be able to do better.
