Seminar - Workshop

I took the redeye to JFK in NYC last night and after a bumpy ride finished off the journey by waking up to an aborted landing.  That'll wake you up quick!  I guess there was a plane that still hadn't cleared the runway and just before we touched down, the pilot hit full throttle and took us on a steep ascent over the ocean.  After doing a fly around we touched down 20 minutes later and I was on my way to hosting my first seminar-workshop at the Albany Poker Club.

My focus was on presenting 10 workable Principles to help improve understanding and approach to the game of poker.  I covered strategies to improve on Perspective, Attitude, Emotional Control, Physical Tells,  and overall Play of Hands using logic and reason.  It was a great group, and we all left with some useful tools and a greater feeling of what it takes to win,  in a competitive game like poker.

I love teaching,  but I don't like traveling as much as I use to when I was playing full time on the World Poker Tour.  At one point,  I was playing in over 100 events a year, across 5 different countries.  Today I'm happy to just take an occasional trip to teach and play much closer to home.  Traveling takes its toll after awhile, especially if you have to keep dealing with aborted take offs and landings.  This was my 3rd one in my last 10 flights!  Sheesh.

Enjoy the Journey!
