How do you guys start your daily grind? do you review hands? watch strat vids etc? what about study? currently i usualy watch a strat vid and take a look at some hands / look at the charts i have to refresh memory..

i want to add structure to my play so considering running drills in gtowiz prior to first session, then do post session hand review / end of day review..

I just play and mark hands. I do all the studying on a separate day from playing. I keep charts available if I need them while playing.

How do you study? and what play / study ratio are you currently doing?

I'm asking this because i want to find a more efficient way to maximise my study time rather than what i do now and just run hands through gtowiz and watch videos etc which i guess is better than nothing but i'm sure i can make better use of this time.

Hopefully better than me. Had my worst session of the year. Ran bad, played horrible, decided to be a calling station tonight, lost 6 stacks in about an hour. A months worth of hard grinding gone in an hour.

Study the spots I struggle the most / marked with gtow solves and play with the trainer. Usually one day in a week. Play the rest and take few days off. If I watched videos I would make some notes from them. just watching them and start the grind never worked for me. I make notes from the training sessions also fwiw. You can easily check them during the play and it works for me.

Sweet!

I had to create a new account in order to fix whatever was causing it to not keep my stats accurate.

Got to 20 today.


Side note: Has it seemed easier to you over the last few weeks?

Yes, I have been scoring lots of 3s lately and haven't been encountering many streak busters. Worldle has a new editor since early November, so maybe he is softer on us.

Nice! I’m at 119 right now, my best streak yet. I was at 114 when “gauze” knocked me down. Lol

Merry Christmas. I ran up my free slot bonus to $2500. I think I found a loophole with these slot bonuses. You can get free $500 every week on deposits and then I just use the bonus money to free roll without every touching the seed money. Just do that every week and eventually you will hit.

Let's gooooo

Merry Christmas to you too DDP. I never figured out those sign up bonuses for Ignition, read that the poker bonus basically was unlockable and the casino bonus is hard to cash out even if you do it.

I'm on a different site but you can just abuse these promos, look at this.

I can just deposit twice a week and free roll both.

Oh I assumed this was on Iggy, yeah those promos look like free money which a lot of sportsbooks/DFS have been pushing for the past year. I guess you also do a fair bit of sports betting?

Do you guys use a database with lifetime hands or do you start new ones from time to time?

You should definitely stick to one database. Why would you choose loosing lots of hand history just to get a clean record?
That being said, I've been guilty of thinking I'd need a fresh start after punting away 3/4 of a deposit without even thinking of playing decent poker before.

I've promised myself I've made my last clean start

Do you often face a situation where you can sqz ip to both players? Meaning don't know if you should put energy to study something that doesn't happen on a reg basis. Players really shouldn't flat in micros outside of blinds and maybe btn so if someone does they are usually bad and you can bomb with value. Just my two cents.

Oop squeeze i go 4x plus original bet plus 1 more bb for good measure. So 3x open x 4 is 12bb, plus another 3, plus 1 for 16bb raise.

IP squeeze i go 3x plus original. So 3x open would be 12bb squeeze
