Sweat Session

Hey Guys I dont have too much time to write but I just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was interested in joining a sweat session with me in the PC chatroom tomorrow. If you are not a member yet, then what exactly are you waiting for? :) Create a free account and come find me in the chatroom manana bananas. I did one last week when I ended up taking 3rd in the 16.5kG on Full Tilt Poker for $2200. Unfortunately I had given very short notice so I don't think too many PC members were even aware that I was holding one. I got all positive feedback from the members that did swing by and I think this would be a great opportunity for all serious tournament players. It doesnt matter what your experience or skill set is. The beauty of poker is anyone can learn it.

Basically the way it works is I will start my tournament session around noon eastern US time. I only play on two sites and so you can search me on either.

Pokerstars: Rex5578

FullTilt: Rex55

You can choose whichever tournies you want to sweat, pull up my tournament tables and then ask me questions in the chat room about hands I play, bets, opponent reads, pretty much anything you want about tournament strategy. I will not discuss anything WHILE the hand is going on, but after all action on the hand is complete, I will be more than happy to offer input. I will most likely be playing between 2-4 at a time, but I will focus my strategy talk on the 1 or 2 mtts where I have the deepest stack or is the furthest along. I understand the afternoon is not an ideal time for everyone who might be interested, but I will be having more of these throughout the next few weeks at varying times. If there is a time slot or day you prefer please leave a comment here or send me a private message and I will do my best to accomodate you all.

Discussing tournament strategy is an active and constructive way to learn about poker as opposed to dwelling on the variables we can't control. I like to have sweat sessions like this because I feel it can be a very valuable asset to you and it also helps me stay sharp and on top of my game. I take my tournament game very seriously and I hope you guys make the most of this chance.

Cheers to seeing some of you tomorrow and to having another deep run :)

One of my favorite quotes....by Nelson Mandela

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
