"Just do me a favor and picture this. I am going to paint a picture of a hypothetical poker player. This person plays poker about 80-100 hours per month–not a ton of volume but definitely a respectable amount. When he does play, he makes sure that he is as focused as he possibly can be. He's not distracted by anything that's going on around him, he doesn't have his phone nearby, and he's not surfing the web while plays. He's just hitting his volume goal and playing really high quality poker, month in and month out.
He also doesn't have any major health issues. He sleeps well, he exercises most days, and he puts good food in his body. He studies about 20 hours per month, sometimes more when he's really feeling it. (And that includes reviewing all of his pots that he has played over 10 or 15 big blinds to make sure he is able to justify all of the significant decisions he's making.) He has access to a coach who is better than him who he meets with on a regular basis. He's not under any extreme financial pressure because he has alternative sources of income, at least for now until poker becomes more profitable. He also doesn't have any major bankroll management issues and he has a solid plan for how and when he is going to move up in stakes.
Basically he knows his plan is solid, so he sticks to it. He doesn't worry extensively about his plan failing. He doesn't try to do so much that he completely burns out or forgets to enjoy his life outside of poker. He doesn't expect succeeding in poker to be the most difficult thing in the world. He just knows that if he lines up enough good decisions in a row, eventually he'll win enough to move up to mid stakes, and then mid stakes will eventually become high stakes.
Now imagine this player is doing all of that, and he is losing at low stakes." Patrick Howard, Highstake Poker Spieler und Coach, aus seinem Blog,
Dieser Beitrag hat mich motiviert noch einmal Gas zu geben beim Thema Online Poker.
Nach 5 Jahren, mal mehr mal weniger Feierabend Button geklicke, und noch nie über nl10 gespielt, will ich dieses Jahr ernsthafter an das Thema Poker gehen.
Ich will konstanter werden. Konstant Volumen grinden. Konstant Hände reviewen.
Ziel ist es regelmässig Updates zu posten und mich mit meinen gespielten Händen auseinander zusetzen. Der Blog dient als eine Art Journal für mich.
Konkretes Ziel:
NL10 winning Player bevor Rakeback bis Ende des Jahres.
Vor oder nach jeder Session sich Hände anschauen
Weniger Volumen, dafür bewusst über Spielzüge nachdenken. Die Anzahl der Tische soweit wie nötig reduzieren. Notfalls wird nur 1 Tisch gespielt.
UPDATE 2023
Maingoal
get to know myself better and get tilt under control
360 000 hands
study 7 hours per week
get so much confident in my own game to cash in and move up the stakes without grinding it up.
