What are you using to track your stats atm?

Basically it works by looking at all your data and hands, analysing it all, and breaking it down to tell you what you are doing well/badly. What you need to change/you're trouble hands, your positional play... everything really. Although I guess if you are NL2 (you are right?) Then you can easily wait a little while for it, and I think that is probably wise. Even at NL5/10 though, I would say it's worthwhile.

I'd say leave it a while, but when you step up, consider it. It also comes with hundreds of videos and loads of material, and it is easy to access because it can recommend what to read/watch given your stats.

Sorry if the above isn't too clear, I know it's midday, but I'm still so drunk from last night!

cheers for all the info dude! I use PT3 at the mo, so yeah i would have to get HEM as well and the cost might add up a bit, but ill certainly look into it for later limits

hope you had a good night bud!!

NL4 BABY!!!!!!!!

So this time im not using as aggro a BRM as i did last time, this time i have grinded my way to $122.40, which gives me a nice 30BI and if i drop down to $80 then i move back down - but here's hoping that i don't need to

t feel so good, like ive actually achieved something, rather than skipping ahead. I used to just throw on $50 and play nl100 and try and double up and withdraw or something.

But this is like actual poker playing, with BRM and i've successfully moved up through a limit. I'm not gonna lie, i'm feeling pretty damn awesome right about now

saying that ill not be over confident when i move up, and hopefully i wont be over-cautious either.

To be fair, today was a hard day! there were a lot of suck outs from big and small stacks, some 2 outers hitting, flushes against my sets, bigger hands than mine always just taking away some o the hard earned NSDW that i hard today, but in the end variance prevailed and let me have a successful day.

here's one of the filthy 2 outers i was tlakin about lol

soooo in the end a very successful for me, i played a good amount of volume (for me) and ran pretty well in the 3rd of my 3 sessions today

I'm looking forward to some NL4 action tomorrow, i think ill stick with FR for a while, prob even when im at NL10 ill stick with FR for a bit, but i know ill have to move to SH at some point cause there is more money to be made there

mandatory boobies for the celebrations

Hey dude how does you dayplan look like?
I know playing 3,5k hands a day is a lot. Especially if you notice that it is best to play in the evening.
I'm happy if I can do 1k hands.

Thanks for the concern guys!

no im not broke, i had a very bad day and then went on holiday to California for 3 weeks (pics to come!!)

I tilted pretty badly! Prob the worst i have in a long time!! so i might re read the tilt chapter in poker mindset before i start playing again!

I start my new job tomorrow, and it pays pretty sweet, and gives me loads of free time to grind! So that should be good!

Also, going on Vegas in November, so need to start playing some live to work on my live game a bit more!
