Since I live in Florida, I just got this email from Poker Players Alliance's Florida State Director, Martin Shapiro, about what is brewing with my rights to play poker in Florida. It makes me shutter to think that legislatures could do this. I just called my Florida state senator, who is sitting on the commitee that is dealing with this.
 
If you live in Florida, please take the time to read about this and take action. I left two links in this from the email. The first is directly to the proposed legislation S. 812. The second is to a Poker Players Alliance Action Center where you can send an email to the Florida state senator directly.
 
This is what Martin's email said: Read More→

Poker players often want to know how we do poker coaching. We do it both privately and in 1-on-1 group sessions. Before I explain how we can have 1-on-1 individual poker coaching within a group setting, let me share with you what our coaching clients say about the experience.

Our coaching clients tell us that during these LIVE group poker coaching sessions, their ability to listen while other people are being coached is certainly game changing, and frequently, life changing.

It's pure and simple. Other poker players probably share similar struggles to the ones you face in your quest to become a consistent winning poker player. Read More→

Who would have thought that poker coaching could positively affect lives? That was my intention and my hope, but when it is mirrored back to me, I am deeply touched.

This just came from our newest poker coaching client, Brenda from Hawaii. She's the proud mother standing behind her daughter in the photo:

Thank you for a great poker coaching session! I had a great time. My first week, I smiled the rest of the day. This week, I was in deep thought throughout the evening! Both times I have left "the table" feeling GOOD about myself, life in general, and what is yet come. I just can't explain it, but it's a new feeling for me, and I like it.

Thank you, Brenda! Your openness and commitment to learning make me a better poker coach. Read More→

PokerStars poker blogger challenge: There is a FREERoll tournament every day this week. If you are a poker blogger and playing in this event, all you have to do is register for the challenge and have your blog certified. To do that you simply grab a piece of code that PokerStars gives you when you register and drop it on your site. It links back to their site and verifies you are the owner of your blog.

Poker Mindset CoachWhen you expect to be successful competing in the online poker arena, you have to treat your time at the virtual poker table as if you were at a job you love. At the same time, you have to educate your family that you are actually going to work when you sit down in front of your computer.
Have you ever found yourself deep in a tournament online poised to make some good money and realized the kids would be home shortly and you had not started dinner? Have you unexpectedly reached the final table where every second counts and had your life partner impatiently show up at the door and ask, "Are we going or not?" Read More→

What kind of baggage are you planning to take with you into your poker game in 2011? It is clear to me that when poker players take emotional crap with them into the game, they play weaker.
 
It's a simple fact. Emotions control our thoughts, and thought control our actions.
 
Today is the first day of the rest of 2011, and for me, January 1 is a sacred day. It helps me set the tone for my entire year.
 
Do you have a ritual to start this New Year? I do and I'd like to share it with you. It is simple and will help you release that which no longer serves you, both in your life and at the poker table. Read More→
