ok, so.....
it's been about a year since i posted this thread and i thought i would review my goals, review my progress and make some new goals.... review:
1. stick with games i've had success with; i still will get lured into zoom.... i've almost kicked this habit.... been playing .25$ sngs... using BR mgmnt and comfortable losing .25$
2. i still study tonnes.... blogs, forums, re-read books, videos, etc....
3. i did find a buddy through this thread that i've corresponded with a few times. had a guy start at work recently who plays, so we chat a bit
4. i will review
hands immediately after a hand or get a history sent to me to review what i could've done better. review some hand analysis on CC
5. fish icon; not sure the icon has disappeared, but my graph has improved in the last year. on
sharkscope, my graph went from a steep downward slope a year ago to a flattened out curve with even a slightly positive slope in my imaginary regression line.... i'm super happy with this. it shows a clear improvement and reminds me that i'm on the right track... i can't wait to see what it will look like in a year from now!!
some of the things i think that i have improved upon are bet sizing, reading the board, assigning a range and being stronger at folding.... and, most important, realizing the importance of position and being strict with the hands i open with.... still need to work on discipline a little.... and patieince... i am also getting better at repping certain hands, either weakness by slow-rolling or strength by cbetting... i feel like i'm thinking on the next level and not just playing my cards... or, at least making improvement
my goals for 2016:
- stick with the games i'm comfortable with, and with proper BR mgmnt, move up a level (or 2)
- continue to study more; study mtt strategy more
- make more contributions to CC to enjoy the
freerolls and build my poker-buddy network
- play more live games; i've only ever played live, like, 5 times... but, i know it's something i would enjoy. the legion has poker night mondays, so i think i'm gonna try to become a regular
- continue upon the lines that's brought me this little bit of success and work more on discipline and focus... and patience
i still play on my tablet and don;t use a HUD.... i know people rave about this, but i'd rather learn poker without the crutch.... with talk of banning HUDs, i thik learning without will give me an advantage.. i also, do't really multi-table... i will play 2 .25$ tournaments at a time, but 2 tables isn't really multi-tabling
one of the things i like about this forum is that reading the posts give me some great advice and tips, but they also give me an insight into the minds of the fish.... i think a lot of ppl post some pretty fishy questions/comments etc and i am beginning to recognize this.... i also know a fishy play at the table and can identify the fish...
anyways, onwards and upwards.... so happy to see improvement and excited about the next year...
be cool scholars
earth is far even
