technolog's tales of domestic bliss, DIY & other nonsense
duke3016:
1. Understand and accept the realities of poker -- Yeah well kinda have to
2. Play for the long term -- ain"t giving it up anytime soon
3. Emphasise correct decisions over making money -- I laughed so hard
4. Desensitise yourself to money -- Given mate, just a given
5. Leave your ego at the door -- Fortunately don"t have one
6. Remove all emotion from decisions -- Easy when "happy"
7. Dedicate yourself to a continuous cycle of analysis and improvement - You"re having a Giraffe

I didn"t think I"d get it through somehow.

The people it"s been my good fortune to meet playing poker
An occasional series.
Daniel "kinboshi" Phillips
I first became aware of the God-fearing boshmeister-general as a reader of the APAT Season 1 English Championship updates on blonde (before APAT had its own forum). I remember thinking, "he must be a fecking good player" and to be honest, I was always a little in awe of him as the winner of the first event ;D
It wasn"t until some months later that I actually met the fella to talk to, not sure where it was, perhaps Dublin Season 1.
And what a great bloke he is. Very intelligent and good company. A little taciturn sometimes and doesn"t post much. A very handy fella to have onside for any IT issues too.
He had a lovely £15K bink (I believe) in the DTD Deepstack last year and it couldn"t happen to a nicer bloke. Apart from me obv.
He"s a bit of a stranger to the forums these days (all things are relative mind) as he"s all loved-up. Good luck to him.
I believe "kinboshi" is Japanese for glory to God - he may correct me if I"m wrong.

I"ve taken the plunge and subscribed to PokerXFactor. I was expecting a one-off sign-up fee of $119 but it doesn"t seem to have been levied for some reason. Perhaps it"s because I have a long-standing (and long-forgotten) site registration.
It"s $24.95 p.m. which equates to £13.66 at current exchange rates, so even at my levels it"s reasonably affordable.
I"ll report back on how I get on.
KarmaDope:
Training videos are good and all that (I use Deucescracked myself) but nothing beats posting hands you"ve played along with your thought processes on forums like the Academy here and blonde...and even 2p2 if you dare brave it. I would mix in the videos with posting hands and reading up on hands at the level you"re playing at...no point reading hands by people like Moorman etc as it just won"t help you as much.
However, I wouldn"t recommend DC to you, they are more cash-focused.
