hello loyal readers,
it’s been a long time since i’ve put some words on this dusty blog but i have a few minutes so i’ll try to give a quick update.
the training site:
teaching lessons, answering student questions, answering new student inquiries, reviewing hand histories, making videos, updating the blog, handling the business side of things; it’s all keeping me quite busy. however, it’s a nice change to just playing all day, every day. we have some really good students and it’s an absolute joy to work with them. i have a strong feeling that in a couple months the sharkscope leaderboards are going to be dominated by ‘team threehundredchips’. 
playing poker:
this month has been pretty swinging and, as always, my volume has been low. however, i feel my game is about as strong as it’s ever been. part of that is a result from all the coaching i’ve been doing. the other part is that i’m just feeling a lot more focused when i play. my bankroll is back up to where it should be and that gives me some confidence as well. below is the month so far:

life:
the biggest thing to talk about here is how poorly i’ve been taking care of myself. after moving to this new house (not sure if i blogged about that, but, we moved) i pretty much stopped going to the gym. our kitchen was unusable for over a month so i was eating out quite a bit as well. i got really lazy about cooking because it was just too easy to walk a block to the grocery store and get some kind of frozen food or a sandwich. the good news is that i think i’m finally over all that and am getting back on track. i went to the gym on monday and started cooking again the same day. so far my favorite meal is to throw some spinach and mushrooms in a pan, cook it for about 2 minutes and serve it on top of either some chicken breast or egg whites. when i eat it with egg whites i like to throw a little bit of feta or goat cheese in the mix as well. yummers.
and speaking of health, it’s time for me to head off to the gym. i’m teaching a lesson this evening and i need workout and play a bit more poker before then.
thanks for reading,
james
