Re: advice on reading list please
well to improve my chances to get to the final 5-10 persons you will choose, here a little more about my motivation, cause u said that is the most important.
I have a reasonably long history of online gaming, a lot was first person shooter games, and I always wanted to improve at those. That does not mean I wanted to be the best, but I wanted to get better. that is the same with poker. I dont have the plan to play with the pros in half a year, but what does matter is that I am getting better at it instead of being satisfied with the level I play on now. We will see how far I can come, but I wont quit before I know what is the max I can get out of this. Here comes my weakness in to play. Like most people I have a lack of selfmotivating power. If I have to do something for my self it is a lot harder than to do something with or for another. I experience this in my study as well as in other things like poker. That is the whole reason I started a blog, to create a online "consience"that will motivate me. Posting on my blog is like telling the outside world what my plans are and updating on the status of that plan. It feels more like someone is watchin me, although the visit rate at my blog is fairly low. Still it feels like people will read it and will be dissapointed somehow if I dont reach what I promised.
In that way I think a poker coach will not only teach me a lot, but will also motivate me to get the best out of my self. Just because I will discuss my achievements with him. Cause if you know he will discuss some hands with you and you did not even look at them, you feel like an idiot.
Dont get me wrong I dont thin you, if you ever become my poker coach will have take out the stick and give me a asswhooping, hell no. But just the fact we have a student teacher relationship will motivate me extra to get the best out of my self.
I think my idea about a poker coach realy fits ur idea about a student, cause in the opening post you say, you want a student so you can oblige yourself to realy get into the theory again, cause u will have to explain it to ur student. I think this can be a system that works the same for both student as teacher, both will gain from the cooperation.
Hope this explains a little my motivation.
