If you’re going to hang out in a bar and listen to live music, you might as well own the bar. Went and checked out Scott Ian’s new club “Dead Man’s Hand” (co-owned by Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains) tonight…and had a really good time…if you’re looking for a great rock n’ roll bar in Vegas, this place is a must. I’m going to go back and visit a couple more times and write a full review on it in the Las Vegas Lifestyle section of TheMavenVT.com’s forum. I’d be scared to know just how crazy a place like that could get for New Years!!!…who knows…I just might find out…which would make for a very interesting article for Bluff (literally).

This past month has been an unreal grind as I’ve been day and night working on content for my training site, alongside hosting a group training session one of the weeks. I’m semi-forced to punt the next month or two (or three! lol) poker-wise as I finish recording all of the videos…as I get the training end of things ready to launch…putting out high-quality and effective training material is what it’s all about. I’m so thankful that I have an entire team of people assisting me along the way. The cool thing about what’s going on here is that this year I essentially wrote a 100 page book on poker. My poker thoughts and philosophies, combined with that of my poker mentor Ari “The Godfather” Engel…filling page after page. Now, the best part is I am able to “virtualize” all of the material from the book and transform it into coursework that can be displayed over the internet. It’s so much better to be able to take an interactive course, than simply read a book. I have a feeling that all the “books” that everyone “must read” will soon become “courses” online that we “must watch/take”…imagine Harrington’s books…virtualized!!!…as in, he would be on the screen explaining exactly what he thinks about each subject and point for point working you through examples, reviews, etc…to be followed by testing material to make sure the material is properly understood. Virtual training, training online, is the wave of the future and I’m glad to be partnered up with one of the leaders in the marketplace LightspeedVT.com…My hope is to be able to bring the poker community the world’s best poker players, virtually, learning all of their tricks and tactics!!!

Work aside, I’m still finding time to go out with my friends and visit cool new places all over Vegas. I’ll try and update ya’ll here and on my forum as to what I’ve been up to…if you want to follow me on twitter: TheMavenVT or on Facebook: David Chicotsky. Thanks for reading my blog, until next time,…take it down!!!
