Going for epic mindset.

Hi all, my name is Alexander and I've been playing poker for some months. I have really enjoyed it but I have to admit im abit of a spazzer.

I'm going to creat this blog/diary/journal/whatever, to try to fix my spazz out and improve my game in general. I play pretty much so volume is not that hard for me to get I just need to get the Quality up mainly.

My goals atm to improve my game:

1. Every 2000 Hands I will go through and analyze. Try to post stuff here about it.
2. Everytime I spazz Im going to write it here and say why.
3. Keep a good physique, Body and mind is attached!
4. Keep thinking, always think! I'm probably never going to become a 18 tables zombie just grinding it up unless I have very good reasons. To become I truly good poker player I need to keep thinking!
5. Post my bankroll in every post so you can follow it progress.
6. Good bankroll management, 5% is max buy in on a CG.

So what Is my main goal of playing poker? To make a lot of cash obviously, and be very competetive.

BR: 19.58

Yeah I spazzed out some, I had a major spazz out where I lost 35 USD on one day!

At the moment I will play NL2 FR MSS as that is the only thing my bankroll allows aplying the 5% rule. But as soon as my BR is at 40 I will take some shots at NL2 FR BSS!

EDIT: Short handed actually! _o:

I played some more and I had one big bad beat, funny enough I just though "Oh, well I made +ev on that move so I don't care" which is a rare case for me.

Here it is!

Hey blog!

I played about 1k hands right now, Didn't go so good I went minus. But I was up like 3$ at one point. I started loosing cause of AK. I think I play it to much like AA/KK preflop and it really doesnt work.

I think I have to analyze more on AK. But my first impression is that NL2 "regs" play extremly tight when going all in preflop. They usually hold QQ+ AK. and versus that range I am completely demolished. only 40% EQ. actually 39.56%.

So what I'm going to do next time I hold AK and thinking about calling a shove is to look at the player im shoving against. Is he full stacked? Is he a maniac? if he is im probably gonig to shove. But if its a NL2 "reg" with full stacka and TAG stats im not going to call a shove at least. Maybe I can shove for fold EQ. Need to analyze more....

For spazzing. I cant say I was spazz free but close. I did some "spazzy" call post flop, hunting a draw that was really just minus EV to hunt. and Infact I lost money on it. But after I folded, so not complete spazz out :P

Not a mega cooler but still ._.

Actually didn't have coolers but It felt like I had more. I guess these coolers do great psycological damage to my play and I need to start thinking. Oh, I won EV on that hand. I can not sit and moan cause I lost money, In poker money don't matter actually what really matters is EV.
