Been grinding away at hu sngs and trying to work my way towards supernova elite asap. Right now at 950k, so close. Also got some mental game coaching from Jared Tendler and it went pretty well, looking forward to our next session. I definitely think he will be able to help me improve some aspects of my mental approach to poker.
Here is an interview I did recently with husng.com if any of you guys are interested in the read...

Do you ever get really tilted and go spew of money at the mid-stakes for fun?
Is this a PG&C thread or a well?
+1 for posting some hands, but I guess you don't want to give your game away.
Thanks. Sometimes I play some NL 2-7 tripledraw when action is dead. That is about all the spewing I do.
Ya, I am a bit hesitant to talk strat although maybe I can post some entertaining hands when they come up.

Haha ya tht is kinda funny. It was a really long time ago and it was my only job I ever had for all of 2 months, but ya pretty cool. I remember quitting and my boss asking me why and me telling him I was going to play poker instead. He laughed and said, "Good luck with that, come back here in 2months and tell me how it worked out for you". Never came back in.

I never really had that climb, I degenned and somehow skipped a bunch of stake levels :/
I would say be willing to play everyone, especially the regs that give you the most trouble. It will be a good thing in the long run.

It feels like you don't have problems with losing motivation or anything while running bad but maybe somewhere in the past it was harder?
Hmmm I am not really sure. I did have some pretty big losing days that cost me big chunks of my roll. One day I lost 210k playing ivey at 500 1k cap with allof my action. But I went in with the right mindset that I was willing to lose, so it didnt upset me that much. Looking back on it, I wish I had stoplossed after 3 buyins. Oh well.
My advice to people in a big downswing would be to slow down, play less tables and play as focused as you can. As soon as you feel you are losing an ounce of focus, take a break and recharge. It is really important to minimize your mistakes/losses amidst a brutal downswing.

I am not sure they are in love with the fact I play poker, but they know I enjoy it so I think they are okay with it.

I am not sure, everyone is different. How most people got good is probably much different then I did. But probably the most important is too immerse yourself in poker, have friends to bounce ideas off of, and always challenge yourself.
