I played pretty good, only one spot comes to mind where I didn't get max value when I had bottom set vs top2.
Here is one you can laugh at, The 2/5 games were pretty dry at MGM so I was donking around at 1/2-
I complete sb with 7
6
Flop- 9
8
5
bink
, I lead for 15 into 15, 1 lp call, btn raises to 45, I say all in and the dealer throws a little plastic card in front of my stack that says all in. I have 283. It folds to lp who has me covered doesn't take to long to make the call with 10
9
. The board runs out and I take it down.
Not thinking about results has been really beneficial to my game. I have been drinking a lot of water and taking breaks. I am back in the zone and making good reads and lay downs.

5k would be enough, I've taken Vegas trips with much less. You can google hotel rates. Just about every place has 1/2 or 1/3 nlhe. You can check out allvegaspoker.com for all info on poker rooms.

Well like I said daily results just don't have any significance because of variance. Everyone is going to have to wait until the end of the month. I'll post all my stats for the first half of the year with graphs.

I don't mind, it is on topic.

The issue with posting everyday is that if gives you ANOTHER reason to try and make plays that give you a positive for the day, not necessarily what the best play is.
GLGLGLGGL
YOU CAN DO IT!!
dont worry about what makes everyone else happy, only about what makes you the most money
not tipping and not paying for anything out of ur stack will help increase ur winrate
Thanks for the advice man!

is he going to totally stop keeping track of wins/losses? that's probably not a good idea. idk, maybe it is. i'm not a pro trying to make a living. i'm just trying to supplement my income.
i mean, he can try to hide it but deep down inside he's going to know when he loses $1000 in a day and when he wins $1000. the stats are always going to be there. just posting them in here doesn't make him more results-oriented.
and, frankly, the goal is to win as much money as possible. i want to make the right decision every time, but i want to be cashing out massive profits as well.
I still diligently track every session on my phone. I'll still know when I'm having a bad day but having to post losing session after losing session was a little depressing and was weighing on me mentally. I want this thread to take a little bit of a different direction. I'll try and write more about strategy and less about wether I am running bad or running good because in the big scheme of things it just doesn't matter.

That said, I can totally understand the desire to ignore results in the short term especially when on a downswing. Thinking of negative variance in terms of real money can make it hard to make good decisions at the table.
So hopefully after his downswing he'll start posting it again.
Good luck OP, you're story is motivating me to put in more volume
Edit: Also I was checking out rent prices in LV on craigslist. $700 is way too much unless you're splitting it with roomies. You should be able to get your own pad for ~$500 month even if you have bad credit there's lots of good rent deals in LV atm.
Yeah I can find cheaper places further out but I don't have a car and I don't want to take the bus everyday. I really like my location at the moment so it is worth the extra $.

Stop thinking of poker in terms of money and wins and losses. Start thinking in terms of equity vs ranges and making the best play.
Focus on what you can control (your play) and forget about what you cant control (the results, cards that hit, etc)
And fwiw, making the right decision everytime will lead to massive profits over the LONG TERM
I couldn't have said it better myself.

I hope I am not an accessory to derailing the thread. I do enjoy reading and hearing from individuals grinding the live arena and trying to get a hold of a winning poker mindset, over the long term.
I hope everyone gets something out of the thread, it certainly has been an awesome tool to improve my game.
