Week 16 (24th - 30th Sep):
The last week of September turned out to be a continuation of the previous weeks.
No changes yet.
I did implement some stuff which is why I again played some fast tables.
It seemed to work out at the start but changed back to usual rather quickly.
Further discussions below.
Results for the week:
Overview for the month:
A month to forget.
Overview since start of the thread (June 1st 2023).
Maybe you can spot where the button switched. ^^
We are now 100k hands and about 80 buy ins deep into the downswing.
Pretty disgusting.
I face some mental challenges as well during this time.
I do get coached from mental coaches and technical coaches, so I should be fine.
This way I have a guideline and people to talk with.
This month I did focus a bit more on studying. The main reason is that I've got new material to study and also found a lot of stuff to improve.
I am not done yet and probably need another month or two to fully go through it all and apply it as well.
Timetable for the month (previous months are visible as well for comparison).
Monetary results:
My C won is -7483$ with an all-in adj. of -6685$.
I did get back 3552$ in form of rakeback, leaderboard, flipout and BBJ.
So net results:
-3931$ and all in adjusted -3133$.
Seems big but for the actual graph I created it's ok.
Goals:
Goals for September 2023:
- play 50k hands regular tables, mainly NL100 (maybe 2:1). ( I did not achieve this. Partly because I took more time to study and partly because I decreased the amount of tables I play at a time)
- Play 25k hands NL100RC. (Did achieve this.)
- Get NL100 green for all dates. (Currently -3500 true value and -3200 in EV, so a tough one) (Yeah well, that did not work out at all. ^^)
- Session rating above 7 in average. (Achieved this. Still no major tilting going on. I had one rough session where I felt really angry and stopped playing. That's it.)
- GTOW drills for frequent spots for at least 10 hours. BTN vs BB, SB vs BB, Two tone boards, straight boards, A high boards and K high boards. (I did not fully achieve this. Maybe about 5h instead of 10h. I will try to study more with GTOW during Oct.)
- Review all hands with GTOW from the previous day with an impact above 5bb that shows an EV error >1EV. (takes about 15-30 minutes per day) (I did do this. The trend is really positive. According to GTOW I make less and less mistakes in EV overall. There are new upcoming ones due to exploits but that's ok.)
- Overall net winning target is again 6k for this month. (Well, maybe next month))
Now for the new month I don't want to have volume goals anymore.
Winrate is the new focus and volume comes second.
Goals for October 2023:
- Focus above 7 in average during a session. (1-10, new stat I track in Excel)
- Technical application above 7 in average during a session. (Previously called session rating)
- Study 8h technical stuff per week (GTOW drills, study material, range construction, preflop charts, Pio study etc.)
- Study 2h mental stuff per week (How can I increase my focus, How can I perform better, How to deal with variance, How to deal with my emotions, Study videos as well)
- Stick to better table selection for regular tables.
- Keep your daily morning routine (stretching and meditation 20-30min in total)
- Keep working out twice per week. (Currently a bit a hustle because of my knee injury. So I will list it as a goal since it will be a challenge for me when I can't do the sport I usually do)
- Take two days off this month
- Check monetary results only at the end of the week. (The focus has to be playing your A game consistently. Checking results is only a threat to that.)
- Net winning target for this month is 5k$.
