The future is NOW!

I am not 100% decided on the purpose of this new blog but I will lay down some of the ideas I have. Writing about poker has been the best tool for my growth towards the player I aspire to be. Here is where I will be writing infrequent theory pieces on concepts and ideas I have about the game as I see it. Also I want to use this blog as a tool to help me learn and teach fellow poker players that aspire to be great too. Last night I met Daniel a 22 year old precusionist with a desire to improve his poker skills. Through conversation I offered my knowledge to him for a small fee and I am hoping a friendship and mentorship is in development. I am fortunate as Daniel has chosen me as his mentor and we will begin a semi-intensive coaching deal starting in September. I feel not only will Daniel benefit from the wealth of knowledge I have about the game of poker but I too will benefit from being forced to clearly explain my thinking behind my actions. I see this as a stepping stone on my way to becoming an amazing poker player and teacher, Daniel being my first student of many.
