Going to struggle to update this thread frequently this month. Have to sit in a very specific spot in the house to leach off a neighbors wifi or use very limited mobile data that I'll be saving for when I am playing.
Good news is I can't actually get distracted atm. The only fun thing left to do is actually play poker lol. Good for focus levels so kind of expecting to have a good month.
Played well last night but lacked any real 'run good' to turn a few deep runs into FTs. Did a big database review earlier in the day - looking at positional, stack size and hand type graph/stats. Some big discoveries there about the types of things I've unconsciously changed (evidenced by clear changes in the graphs) and highlighted some areas that I've always been struggling with.
Key points were:
1) I've tightened up too much with a short stack (0-10bb & 10-15bb)
2) Showing down too light from 100bb+ stacks. (Guessing too many AK calls pre and too many river calls vs donks/raises).
3) A couple of more speculative hands have started showing in my UTG range.
4) Some big inconsistencies with how I play suited connectors. (Not something I've really spent huge amounts of time studying so will be a higher priority to work on this month)
5) Off suit Aces and particularly the non-showdown side of it. (I'm not a fan of playing A2o-A9o, even though I know they are profitable in a lot of spots. Need to work on this)
6) Suited 1-2 gappers also need a full review.
I very much work off an 'If X, Do Y' type approach to poker. I have a lot of these rules for the majority of play in the more common spots. Points 4-6 are all cases of where I've never really sat down to study and set out the rules properly. The first 3 are a result of either a lack of discipline or a lack of focus.
Other than that, been pretty quiet and pretty boring. Just waiting to move and get settled now.
Hope you've all had a good start to the month. Will update again late in the week or maybe even the weekend (unless I bink of course
).
