One of the things that has become problematic for me is I can play as much poker as I want, but I fully want to be and am expected to be a father and husband first. So not unlike most of the guys here in my spot poker becomes something to be done when there is time. I like to play a lot so I play at night when the kid is asleep and either the wife is in bed or is watching some bad television. She does like shows like American idol and other reality crap plus several TV series.
FWIW, nobody has said playing 50K hands a month predominantly after 10PM with a full time job would be easy and I have done everything in my power to make it as difficult as possible.
I can empathise with this totally. Being at the cash learner end of the spectrum , I'm trying to study and play as much as possible. Add in wife and child and a 7 days a week job, I'm finding that i'm tired in the daytime and seem to wake up at night when my wife has gone to bed.
As far as Spenda and goats offer to sweat you , take it up, having done two sessions with Erpel,him watching me and me watching him I'm hoping that it will change they way I play, time will tell. My lack of experience is my problem at the moment.In your case they will spot what you are doing wrong , which if the roles were reversed and say you were coaching me and I was playing the same way as you , No doubt you would instantly spot it in my play , whereas for yourself , you have other issues which are all compounding together so that you are having trouble focussing in on one thing and possibly trying to change too much at once, playing scared money trying to stop the downslide .
