Small update

Haven't posted in a while.. so figured it was time for a small update.

I'm really busy with my final exams in the upcoming weeks, so I have little time for poker-related stuff  (at least, I should). Hopefully I will pass for all my exams, so I can fully focus on grinding and improvement.

Recently I moved up to the 60s as well, which has been going extraordinary well (lots of rungood included).
I am very grateful that I have been getting excellent coaching by mainly bigbluffzinc (push0rdie hasn't been around much) who has been very devoted so far. I feel like I'm in the zone the last few weeks, which has been showing as well through my results.

I've been encountered for some coaching as well, which feels like an honour. Hopefully I'll be able to teach others what I have learned- both by my own experience as from what I have learned from my coaches.

From my academical background I'll be able to teach others a lot regarding psychology and mindsets regarding grinding, as a lot of the theoretical stuff I learn is applicable in workfields such as poker as well.

I'm trying to execute those elements by myself, and I see progression- albeit a (little biased) self-report.

I'm on my way to the 100s- it's only a matter of time at this pace.
Hopefully the rungood lasts a little longer, as it's great for motivation.
At first sight it may create the effect of slacking the improvement of my game, but the contrary is happening.
I know that my current results are an upswing for a certain percentage (it is too abstract to give concrete numbers), but I know that a lot of it is due to my edge vs. the other players/regs.

I want to maintain this, so I need to keep on improving and improving and improving and improving..
This is an key element if you want to be part of the best, if not THE best at whatever you do.
You always strive to be one step ahead of your enemy.

This will be it for now, back to studying.

Good luck at the tables!
