Still kicking.

I am working hard on the thesis these days, so not too much happening on the poker front. I have played a few brief sessions, and I am up about $1000 for those, so I am not quite dead yet.

Also I have been checking out some poker videos on the Internet, and also some recording software. While I haven't really used this option in the past, I think watching someone else play is a valuable alternative to reading books or participating in forums. Especially if you feel like you are reading the same stuff over and over again, another take on the game can't hurt. Stay tuned, as I may share a video of me playing some time in the near future. Given thesis work, maybe not so near.

In the mean time check out stoxpoker, there is a free video of Stoxtrader playing NL cash games (free registration required). A full membership will set you back $50 plus $20 a month, you probably don't want to go there unless you are already making some money off poker, or really want to make an investment in your poker career. Most players I talk to (all 200NL players or higher) agree that it has been a good investment for them. So far, I am not sure watching them has improved my game much, but I will agree that Stoxtrader is extremely good at explaining his thought process as he plays, so that will probably help a lot of players.
