I've decided to track my progress a bit more again. I currently study the RYE cash game course. I get familiar with ranges more and more. I've seen almost all the videos by now. I will rewatch some and make notes.
I've lost a big portion of my bankroll again because I'm still not strick with things I set.
So I come up with an idea which I will explain in my next post what approach I want to have from the begging of the next year.

What do I mean by Do It Right?
Time goes fast so let's start to do things right and don't waste our time anymore.

I used to play poker for fun but always with an intention to crush stakes and be a winning player at the same time.
But the fun part was stronger so I didn't follow my plans and bankroll management strictly.
I want to change it. I want to be a winning player. I've bought a course so I don't want to waste that money, I want them to be a profitable investment.

I'm dedicated to:
Work hard (study ranges, review hands)
Follow bankroll management (Standard BRM 30 buy-ins)
Try to be better every single day (every little step helps)
And this applies to all aspects of life.

I'm going to start from almost a zero. My bankroll is now 13.45$.

______________ Happy New Year! ______________

How's it going, guys? Have you already studied this year? :f_cool:

I finished all the videos from the course and I continue to study ranges. It's a very slow process but I believe it's the right way.
I want to spend more and more time studying the ranges. About half an hour a day would be nice.
I also have to keep in mind that I have to adjust them to the limit I'm currently at.
I play one table of NL2zoom plus 2-3 regular NL2 tables as a few people already suggested to me to try the regular ones. I've already spotted some differences between zoom and regular tables. I'm going to play on both for some time to compare them.

My bankroll is now: 18$
I will keep an eye on it till I get to 30 buy-ins for NL2 and then I'll decide if I will play without checking a bankroll after every session or not.

I have a plenty of hands for review for today so bye for now and have a great day :f_thumbsup:

Remember with the regular Tables, You can start practising taking notes on the player unlike Zoom. Would be a nice exercise before You move up in levels. GL in 2020

Actually I do take notes regularly even on the zoom tables. When I write a note and can't focus on in I just sit out and write a proper note.
Thanks for stopping by deralte71 it's always nice to see you on my blog and :gl: in 2020 to you, too!

I used to take notes on every player I played at 5-Card Draw tables, but for some reason I don't much any more. Mostly because I think I'll likely never see them again.

Wrong!

Best wishes for a peaceful, prosperous 2020,

I'm confused about your reply Vorpal :f_biggrin:
Well, I see players with my notes again. I have to work on the quality of those notes, though :f_biggrin:
But they are usually helpful.

Well mjez1,
After reading my reply I'm just as confused as you are.
I still take notes in 5-Card Draw and in some tournaments, but in tournaments were everyone is a complete stranger, I get lazy and don't.

Another reason (or excuse) for not taking notes is that is just one more thing to do while streaming.

All the best,
VS

Oh, yeah, well I see know. It's not an easy thing to do while streaming and it's true, some of them you won't see again.

I set a goal that if I have time for play but haven't done a hand review from the previous session, I have to do the review first.
So far it works very well.

I've played today's short session only on regular tables.
It has only one minus to play on them which is that the tables break after quite a short time (depends on the players) and I have to load new ones.
There are more inexperient players and they are more spewy.

Bankroll: 25.19$

Crazy stuff happens on regular tables. Lots of stations and completely inexperienced players there.
How do you choose which table to play on? I try to choose ones with the biggest avg pot. Do you take Plr/flop or H/hr in count as well?

Bankroll: 30.14$

What's up?
I wasn't playing over the weekend at all. I just did a few hand reviews and marked a few which I want to post in the forum.
I've just seen this article in news with the videos about how to review hands in a forum. I will definitely check them out asap.

I've played a little bit today, had some ups and downs, but the bankroll remains quite the same.
Bankroll: 29.76$

In the next two days, I want to take some time and focus more on study again. I have plenty of hands to review from today's session.

Have a great start of the week :sfishy:
