1. All in EV says I'm -21 BI on the year (and -11BI for last yr). I don't know what to think. The Economics degree in me says that AIEV is just one small part of the larger luck equation in poker and that its possible that I was "luckier" than it might seem. Even though I'm under on the Flop-A-Set meter, perhaps when I flopped a set I ran into AA/KK on wet flops a lot and stacked people. Perhaps I'm running godly when I'm drawing on the turn, etc.

I don't know how to react to this. I've heard Sauce call AIEV "the aids of poker" in his blog. Part of me wants to just never look at AI EV and just play.

What do you do? Do you pay attention to AIEV much? What does it mean to you?


2. Coaching

I'm gonna get a coach 100-150/hr. Possibles at 100-150hr are Chipchucker5 (2-4 reg, 5bb/100), 0evg0, and sixpeppers/actiondj (CR instructor, I know him from college but he'd be a bit more expensive than CC5 or EVG).

Any coaching tips/referalls appreciated.
