May update - MMAsherdog Blog

Last month, I was disappointed with my results and work ethic.
My volume could still be a little better, but it doesn't matter if I keep running this hot.

I've decided to quit streaming, at least for a while, so I can put even more focus into poker.
I hope I can direct that extra time into more studying, and more playing.
But I definitely will not exceed 15k hands a month. Beating High Stakes poker is about being at the right place at the right time, and knowing when to not play a mediocre game, just for the sake of playing it.

My poker career and being a coach have always come first, and entertainment second.
