APRIL FINAL UPDATE
This month was, let´s say, interesting. Failed 10nl shot (again), 5nl ok but not great, tried 6-max and zoom again, didn´t like the format. Tilted plo10 session after the 10nl shot just to increase the size of the hole I went into. Graphs:
Full month:
10nl:
5nl:
Remaining games (plo10*, zoom, 6-max...):
*PLO10z was the sharp drop at the beginning of the graph. Played a few 5 card limit draw games, but hem2 doesn´t track the hands. Didn´t lose there at least, but didn´t make even 1 dollar, so be.
And today, just for the record:
I´m gonna try to set up a more structured approach for the game in may. First, what I expect to achieve this month:
1) Increase my understanding of the game, becoming way more stronger in the theorectical and practical stuff that we all need to be successful in any stake nowadays.
2) Be more disciplined, especially with my own goals, but also on the volume side of the game. Not that I played too little, actually I played more than I expected, but with too much variability in my daily hours/hands.
3) Move up and become a reg at the 10nl fr tables before May, 31.
4) No PLO, no any other poker variant unless I´m leaving NL for good.
I think I´m stronger now than at the beginning of april, so to achieve 1) I will be taking the same approach I took this month.
2) is tougher as you can see my failures in the discipline part of the game this month, but I can´t give up on what is probably the 1st or 2nd most important part of becoming successful in this game.
3) depends 75% on myself, technically and mentally, 25% on rungood obv.
To achieve all these goals, I´ll divide this month in 10 day parts (the final one will be 11 btw). So, from tomorrow until May, 10th, I want to:
- Play at least 20k hands. 2000/day is not that hard, less than 4 hours if continuous, 5 if doing my approach of many small sessions in the early morning and late afternoon/evening.
- At least one theory video and one session with snowie to keep developing an optimal default strategy every day.
- Again, not look at results ($, EV$, graph and cashier). This is the toughest one.
- Keep myself at 5nl FR tables only. Hopefully I´ll be able to get some rungood and win the last remaining buy-ins for my 500d goal. Playing multiple games while learning doesn´t work well for a learning struggling player like myself, so focus!!!!! Only 5nl 9-max.
I´ll keep browsing this thread and 2p2, answering all posters, but won´t do an update until the deadline that I set above.
So that´s it. GL everyone!
