wellll a few of my goals have gone down the sh**ter because of my poor running at 4nl. im now not going to play until i have finished reading some relevant articles, namely the most important of the silver articles. once i've done that i'm going to play a little at like 4 tables and try and play properly.

on a side note i think i've settled on a dissertation idea and so i feel like i have a big weight off my shoulders.

back to the strategy section!

Hey man, we can sweat tomorrow if you want? I f you still don't feel like playing, you can watch me, I'm sure it would help?

Is this the thread you read about the guy moving up?

update on my goals...

[ ] Play 4 hours a day on 4NL.
[ ] Read 1 - 2 articles a day.
[ ] Session review every morning
[ ] Post a few hands for evaluation from the night before.
[ ] Play A game every time i sit down with a stop loss limit of 2 BI because i tilt easily.
[ ] Reach gold status just to get articles - i don't mind losing it next time round as long as i have articles.
[ ] Buy HEM maybeee
[x] Get a good idea on what i'm gunna do for my dissertation.

I have actually read a lot more than i intended to and it has definitely made me think more about my game, for instance betting and asking myself why i'm betting rather than just doing it because i have a hand. i'm starting to work on questioning what hands will call, what hands will fold and whether or not i want that etc so what i will be doing is playing on 2nl each day instead of 4nl and just trying to work on my thinking during the game. that way i can still earn strategy points, improve my game but also not lose/not lose much.

today i will be making notes on some books and playing a little until my parents get on my case about stripping wallpaper X(

that would be awesome! could definitely do with some advice from someone who plays higher limits

im playing fr. i have been tempted to play SH but since fr is where you can make steady profit playing ABC i need to learn how to kill that before i get into SH. that's my reasoning anyway.

what i'll do is carry on making notes and once i get back into playing again i'll let you know. i want to be thinking properly about my play when im doing it so i have a little work to do with that!

im very happy with today :)

finished making notes for a few things and decided to play today to get the bonus 10 strategy points, so i played just before midnight and have just stopped. i managed to make back what i lost at 4nl in 457 hands of 2nl... so i am very happy.

i made it my priority to question every single move i make, and ask myself why im betting and what worse hands were calling etc. thinking about fold equity (in a primitive way obviously cos im :f_confused: but still trying to think a little about it) and generally not bothered about winning/losing just simply making the right decisions.

anyways, i'm off to bed and look forward to learning more tomorrow :f_cool:
