so my second day on minus since i started the topic. had 3 session. first -22$ or so on 1k hands - made some mistakes in some small pots and after got pwnd by some lucky donks (i won't complain about running under ev), 2nd sess again 1k hands with 4$ or so profit - ran pretty bad and the last session of the day - 46$: i was down 2 bi some mistakes obv and got unlucky in some spots (flush vs flush 1 bi and the other 10$ from small pots) and got sh**ed on in a 400bb pot vs fish ... set under set. and that was my late night session. hopefully i will run better tomorrow.

Gl man, keep with it. I started off at 2nl. I'm grinding 50nl now. I think the key is session reviews.

back on track ...

Hey! first of all GL to ya i'm sure you can pull it off with good work ethic and focusing on improving.

One thing I have to ask tho is: why do you only post results everyday? Everyone (decent) talks about how you shouldn't be results oriented, but just from the fact that you seem to ONLY ever post results in a blog thread seems like you may be falling into the trap.

You mentioned earlier you weren't gonna post hands that were badbeats/coolers but aren't there a ton of interesting hands left? I've gone thru the ranks myself starting at lower stakes and moving up and I know that each time I'd have coaching i'd find a ton of interesting spots where I could question my play and even thought it wasn't necessarily me doing something wrong, it was an interesting spot that could be discussed/dissected and it'd lead to me improving my thought process.

I guess all I'm saying is since you've committed to making a blog, you might as well make it so you get something out of it other than just posting your day by day results (which you see in HEM anyway...).

Take care and wish you all the best

first of all let me thank you for the feedback.

i don't post hands because most of times when i have some interesting hands i post them in the 2p2 regs skype group or show them to my backer/coach. so when i have doubts about some hands i just ask him. and about posting the results, i'm not result oriented i just keep people updated with my progress, that's all. other than that, i don't know what exactly i should post here. i will try to post some interesting hands from time to time and maybe say some jokes or post moar pics ))

no probs. yeah, I got that you post results to keep ppl updated what I meant to say was that your progress, which you are trying to keep updating, is not only represented by the $ amounts that you win/lose but by a ton of other factors, and that's what I meant to say when i was talking about you falling into the trap of results-orientedness is that you seem to (obv basing this only from the posts i've read itt) see your progress in poker as how much you win.

I guess you could try to take a look at other ppl's threads and draw inspiration on what to focus on from there, however I can't say I can help with that as I don't remember off-hand any such threads. maybe others do?

Either way here's a nice quote from a thread i was reading earlier:

bringing the topic back to life, i will make a longer post in a few hours.
