I feel like if I am going to change the way I approach learning/playing/beating the game I need to add a little structure to the blog. So in the following content I will just state my goals for the changes, including for the blog itself.
- Not playing more than 6 tables – I can 6 table, get reads, take notes etc. This isnt hard at all. Anything more than that and I start playing off numbers and situations, and not using reads as much. So from here on out, 6 tables. Occasionally when the tables are super fishy (weekends, some prime time weeknights) I will play 8 tables. 8 will still leave room in the screen for note taking, as well as taking down the hands that are questionable so I can show them to my blog and forums.
- I want to watch a lot of videos. I play very “different” and I like this, but need to make my game a bit more solid for the future. I really dont enjoy 20k breakeven stretches and then 10 bi down swings in each direction. Maybe Ill never win 38 buyins again in 12k hands, but I would rather be more solid and not deal with the mental aspect of winning and losing $800/day, every day.
- Im gonna spend a lot more time in the forums, but ban myself from certain forums. I can only go into my respective NL100 forums and that is all. My time there is to be spent posting/reading/replying to hands and learning.
- I play on making at least 3 videos a week. First one will be today and will have me verbally talking about my future goals and each will state a specific strategy I am working on.
- Daily, I will approach the game with a “business plan.” I will state what my goals are in the blog, how I plan to achieve them, and then the summary of the goals execution. These goals will never be monetary.
- Post hands! I said it already, but its that easy. Period! Post hands
I am not sure if there was more I wanted to say here. If there is I will edit the blog later or post a newer blog. Here goes nothing.
EDIT: I forgot to mention one thing. While my roll is VERY uncomfortably low at the moment I am OK with this. I am changing my game, and the only reflection of my efforts will be my ability to stick to these goals, and how much I win. From here on out my blog will get lots of updates about the roll/graphs/state etc. I DO NOT CARE WHAT THE ROLL IS. My goal for the month starting at this moment is to win 30bi or at a win rate of at least 7bb/100. I have no daily goals for money, but I do for the month obviously.
