I really need to make way more of an effort to stop looking at my results and graphs, bad enough I have to do it every week anyway for team moshman, I feel like I’ve been rather sucky tight atm, with big hands vs fish I’m not betting nowhere near enough on early streets, a hand was so obviously misplayed by me earlier, I more or less bet 1/2 pot on the turn vs a fish with TP with a FD possible… lol
Off out shortly, though the games look really good, so hopefully I’ll get some play in tonight, gl everyone.
I’m wanting to sweat some people between 2nl and 10nl, to prepare for offering some coaching for these stakes so if you play these stakes, on any site please get in touch so we can set something up. Just to clarify, I’m not looking for paying students at this time, I just want to sweat people on these levels to get used to the play and get some practice offer advise for these games.
Thanks.
The last two weeks have been pretty frustrating, I’m about BE this month, and apart from one epid day was BE last month IIRC, its so draining to keep playing for no results, but I have to keep pushing myself forward. I’m really pleased with how I’ve been playing, true I’ve made some mistakes today, and a few more yesterday, but mistakes happen, I need to put them behind me and move forward. I’m running a bit crap lately, nothing disastrous, just typical gross turn and river bet / fold spots and loads of kill my action type spots.
I’m going to try and start a new routine tomorrow, as I’m not happy with my <3k hands per day average, so from tomorrow I’m going to try doing 2 sessions of 1.5k hands per day, hopefully that’ll help improve my volume. My volume hasn’t been terrible, I just think it can be better, especially as I need the boost to help make sure I will make SN this year, I still have 60k vpp’s to go, and the longer I stay at 25nl the harder it will be to achieve.
If things go well for the rest of the month, I will be moving back up to 50nl at the start of next month.
Good luck everyone xxx
I thought I was praying for value from 7x or trying to induce a bluff, burst out laughing at showdown lol.
Another session down, another 1+ BI’s of total spew, I’m really struggling with this, more then I ever thought I would, and its really really holding me back. I heard Aeron Jones talk about how music and certain types of mucic and make you play to fast so I’m going to leave the music alone for my next few sessions and see if that can have a positive impact.
Generally I think I’m playing well lately, its just doing obviously stupid stuff like making terrible 4b/calls and very thin bluffs vs villains with very little information.
1. Stop looking at my cashier, session results and graphs.
2. Evaulte / post more hands.
3. Do more focussed sweats, i.e concentrating on specific areas rather then just general sweats
My operating system went a bit crazy on me a few day’s back, so I made the upgrade to Windows 7. I have Windows 7 on my laptop so I thought I’d be used to it, but hell no, it really threw me, and I’ve been mega tilted for the past few day’s, especially when HEM was driving me crazy. I’m really not used to the desktop layout and how the windows look and feel and I can’t wait to either theme it like XP or get used to it, so it doesn’t bug me so much. Worse still is that there appears to be a problem with my graphics drivers as now I can’t do basic stuff like setup a screen save, despite having a pretty good card that worked perfectly on XP.
So I haven’t done much poker for the last few day’s, I had a session with my team moshman coach earlier, which went okay and we’ve highlighted a few areas that I’m going to work on over this next week. I’m still pretty annoyed about my poor performance this month, mostly I’m just getting coolered and running into the top end of ranges, though I’m excited about improving my play and negating some varriance with an improved win rate.
Would I be insane to think that I can just rip my thumb out of my butt and make 2k out of 25nl over the next month, going to try and aim for $500 a week, maybe 75k hands a month, a couple of months of that and my roll will be back to a point where I feel happy to move back up to 50nl, and hopefully 100nl won’t be too long after that.
Sadly I’m too tired to grind now, probably a good thing after how I ended my last session but I’m really keen to get stuck into the grind tommorow. Gl at the tables everyone.
