Weekly Progress Update 20.01.2014
Profit/loss for week = + $58.99
Graph for week
Comments:
Lolsamplesize.
Thought process is improving like I cannot believe. Just so many situations I am able to think through better than before. I think this is a result of constant work and practice. Talking poker is one of the major factors I think so Skype Groups are good for me.
Good week for volume too (20 hours) and have also studied alot (two videos/lots of HH discussion/3bet strategy/MGOP2).
Thanks to everyone who is helping me with HH's etc.
Keep this work load up and its all gonna be good, I know it!
