And even worse most people don't want to hear about your bad beat stories either! It sounds like you have the right attitude for success though. Thanks for reading and I hope things turn around for you soon.

I have checked out Nano's stream a few times and it looked really cool. A potential issue for me though might be that I live in Asia. This is a large part of the reason that I no longer coach. The timezone thing sucks :( Glad my book and videos helped!

I've bookmarked it so I will come back to it during my next downswing.<br /><br />I can really relate to the following point: "Most people vastly under-estimate [variance's] impact even if they are well past the beginner's stage of complaining about a few bad beats.

You truly need a deep love for this game (or self punishment some times) to be around for a long time. Nice to see you're uploading more videos every week to your Youtube channel.
