Poker Logbook/Journal

I was just wondering if anyone keeps a logbook or journal after playing live or internet poker. If you do what do you write in it? Do you have headings like:

money lost/won, bad beats, best play, etc....you get my point.

Or you just keep track of wins/losses of $$$. Please inform what you include in your journal because I would like to start one up. Thank you

I've never thought about that. That sounds like a darn great idea. Thanks for the insight.

I have been a little when I remember, there is a site that helps called pokerjournal.com. It will track all your winnings and provide graphs and stuff! Great site very usefull!

We were actually going to implement such a feature here on cardschat, we weren't sure if it would get used or not though.

I would use it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF you talkin bout Willis? You tryin to spam or what? That site is for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds a great idea! I've just tried the link above and it seems like its up for sale, and I'd have to win a hell of a lot of freerolls to buy it!

Hi - I started my own personal poker blog on MSN - its free. I don't keep accurate records on it but rant and rave and pat myself on the back when necessary. I also am keeping track of my wins and near wins (125th place in 4000 - call that a near win, not a loss) in a hardcopy journal.

I think Williams likes jotting down every hand at a tourney and reviewing it afterwards when it was over to see how to improve. Sounds like a good idea to me, maybe too much work, but I should give it a try - at least in online play. All education helps.

sorry about the site link guys, I am at work and trying to go from memory, I will check it out later tonight and let you all know the proper link, I have it bookmarked!

Poker Log

I use one right now in a looseleaf notebook and it is a pain. I include things like:

Date, Game (ie.. Holdem, Omaha,etc), Stakes, Ring game or Tourney, time it took to play tourney, place I came in, Money Won (if any HAHAHA). I have a blank space on the end that lets me put in the name of player and if they were aggressive or other notes. Hope this was helpful!

NICK: I would definately use that feature as I think keeping it on looseleaf is a pain.

pokerledger.com ok guys that is the correct link! Sorry about all the trouble!

I would love to start a journal. I do have one question concerning live games though. Can you keep a journal at the table and make entries during live play? Have a fabulous day!!

I keep a daily log of on-line poker play:

Date, Cost of buy in, # of players, placement, $ earned/lost at game, running win/loss $ amount. I also keep a space to notate things like, "bad beat", screwed on river, played stupid (and how), maybe noting superior plays, or something I learned from the game.

I also keep a separate log for brick and mortar games.
Same info.

i have a little looseleaf notebook. i prefer that to an online log, since you can carry the little paper notes in your pocket, but my laptop PC doesnt fit in there.
ive kept book since april (started playing -online- in december last year)...
