Hello 2p2, this thread is devoted to keeping me focused throughout this year, and I believe that as long as their is a forum keeping me accountable for bad plays and stupid tilt I will be able to move up through micro stakes.
I am indeed not a continuous winning player, I win in streaks when I 4 table, however when I go on a heater I suffer from winners tilt and become overconfident attempting to outplay opponents as opposed to making ev+ decisions. I play on party poker under the alias of ishoveucall, feel free to rail me whenever or table me. I'm a 6max player however I have tried other games, and feel that It's boring. =)
I have tried husng's however that was a long time ago and don't feel I have an advantage in it anymore, I'll post the graph for that none the less.
Several things you may notice from my graph is
1) I am indeed down alot of money, so how do I still have a bankroll? (deposit bonuses cleared along with bonuses due to volume)
2) You may have realized my graph is composed of 3 peaks followed by 3 downswings, it is what it looks like. Unfortunately, my coolers are also accompanied by tilt.
The first 2 peaks, where in summer where I started taking poker more seriously and read alot of archives and stickies. The downswings were frequently due to me attempting to throw on 6-9 tables as opposed to my regular 4
The last peak is explained my my attempts at 25nl with a bankroll of 250$ last week. Once again, tilt and greed, along with attempt to chase my losses caused me to loose roughly all my profit from 25nl
September Graph:
Plan of attack:
I will stop playing mass amount of tables and work on my game.
Stick notes will be posted near my laptop to remind me of common leaks I have discovered.
150$-300$ (10nl)
500$+ (25nl)
Daily Goals:
Play my 'A' Game; at any point which I start tilting I will leave the computer and go beat the crap out of my heavy bag.
Post every session graph, as well as hands which are misplayed whether I won it or not. Hands which contributed to the majority of losses that day will also be posted.
Monthly Goals
Maintain a decent winrate of at least 7bb/100 at 10nl
Take 2-4 tabling shots at a higher stake, with at least 15 buy ins, with 3 buy in of stop loss.
Goal by April 2011.
I wish to bankroll $2000 by April of 2011 as this well provide me with enough bankroll to play 50nl.
I will then distribute the bankroll evenly between pokerstars and fulltilt inorder to take advantage of the 600$ deposit bonus
Goals after April 2011:
I plan to then seek a coach to prepare me for the jump of small stakes no limit in which I will pursue as a part time job to pay my way through college and medical school.
Leaks which contributed to at least; 75% of my losses:
Set mining in 3bet pots in sense of underpairs
Shoving Over pairs (TT-AA) in non-3bet pots/ calling shoves without odds.
Calling 3bets light occasionally and playing to the end with top pairs ( AJ,AT,78s etc)
Calling turn raises/ 3betting with TPTK on turn/flop regardless of board texture and villian
Chasing Flush draws, Straight Draws to the end.
Watching two and a half men on my iPod while grinding.
