And watched another 3 videos for BSS NL5.
Read all BSS articles from bronze. (and reread those that I've already read)
Almost done. I have to read "odds&outs" and reread "After the flop: You have the initiative"
Week 2 - Month 2 Review
Here it is, the graph and day overview:
PokerStars
Profit/Loss = +$73.5
BR = $154.5
I officially now have 30 BI for the limit I play 
(NL5)
Looking back, I did not have a bigger profit because I won more, but because I've lost less. "Money not lost is as good as money won."
Month 2: Week 1 vs Week 2
At the end of the week, I will write the differences between my playing style last week and and present week, to clearly see what changes were done that increased my winnings. (Month2: Week1 vs Week2)
Last week I've lost $10 and this week I've won $73,5. What did I change and improve to make this happen?
Week1:
- playing 6 tables
- not reading articles on a daily basis
- not watching enough videos
- not interested in knowing/noting the opponents style of play
- playing when tired
etc.
Week2:
- playing 4 tables
- reading articles on a daily basis
- watching videos
- mostly interested in observing and noting my opponents style of play
- following my imposed schedule
- posting daily hands for evaluation
So, It's better to focus on fewer tables, playing your best concentrated game, taking in account every player from the table (knowing him, his style and his habits), than playing, mechanically, more tables without being able to concentrate fully on everything.
More hands doesn't mean necessarily more profit. This is why it's important to know your opponent and be concentrated on the tables you play, being active in every hand, even if you did fold.
Last week revealed big cracks from my play, that this week I have fixed.(Like loosing to much with offsuited cards and QQ)
Always have an observing ego and improve continuously. Every time you make a mistake, acknowledge it, admit it, learn from it and don't repeat it.
I have improved also from reading the articles and watching the videos. Also, this week I've been present to some coachings, but every time I was late (10-15 minutes before closing), so I couldn't take this in account.
Posting hands for evaluation helped my game too, we have great Judges that are always there to give feedback and guide you. Thank you! ♠_grin:
