Travel

I've been traveling a lot the last several weeks. On top of my Europe trip, went to montreal for a bachelor party for a weekend and just came back from a 4 day trip to Washington. Went for a conference with work.

Washington was a lot nicer than I would have thought from a big city, would definitely recommend it.

Poker

Now that I'm back its time to really focus on the grind and try to get hands in. I'm still reading mental game of poker, and I'm not quite done yet.

I thought I might have started a win streak, winning $300 and then $500 in back to back sesions, but lost $2k my last 2/4 session. Following my br management rule (if I lose 4 buyins I'll drop down, win 10 I'll move up).

So now I'm gonna play 200nl until BRM dictates I move up. Once I win $2k I'll move back up to 2/4 again.

I need to get this downswing under control. Its one of my worst in my poker career, both from a size of downswing (not quite the worst), and duration of downswing (definitely the worst - mostly due to low volume).

Right now I'm gonna make a list of things that indicate my tilt or symptoms of of B game or C game, and try to keep track of these.

General Life

I'm contemplating going to teachers college. Anyone a teacher out there?

I've always liked teaching people (ever since highschool), and I really like coaching as well. Teaching also has several months off a year which would be perfect for mixing in some grinding. It's something I'm thinking about, but because I missed the deadline, I wouldn't be able to go until Sept 2012.
