2k hands:

My mannnnnnnn this is awesome and will be following with some serious interest.

Do you every play zoom or any fast fold variants btw?

Yeah I have a graph of my 10nlz and below of 90k hands if you want it. Its only breakeven but my redline is horrible. Only recently starting watching yours and adams videos and really helped me be on the lookout for some brilliant spots to increase redline! Also my blueline is smashed in zoom because I wasn't making the folds adam showed in his two part series. I am currently taking a break from zoom as it got kind of monotonous and fancied a break. Also my game was getting stale and playing 4-6 reg tables helps me keep in line with strategy!

Thanks for interest though!

So took a little break after having a punt at PLO and losing my micro BR.

Got me worried and decided I needed to set out some rules for myself.

1. Do not play for too long - I have noticed that when I play long sessions I become so uninterested with small stakes and feel like running it up. I am well aware that this is a problematic sign for future playing.
With that said I'm planning on nipping it in the bud by:

Reminders every 30 mins and an honest reconsider if I really should still be at the tables

Start every session with a 15 minute warm up, be it hand history or a clip of a leak review series here

2. Be committed to reporting my progress here - I cant say how embarrassed I am if people check up on me and ask like 'why aren't you at the tables' and I have to reply some ridiculous story. I should be confident and I think having to report progress on a regular basis can keep me in line with how I treat my poker BR.
I understand its micros but its not the actual money worth its the situation and mind-set. Id hate to think I actually become a good enough player to make some serious money only to punt it once I get bored from a 5k hands day. Ill save myself the money and embarrassment and stick to BR management.

3. Read up and deal with tilt - I pass off tilt as if its a normal part of the game and it is by all means, but its how I deal with tilt that isn't normal. Even being a reasonably logical person a bad beat or getting caught with a bad bluff, still sends me a little over. Far more so at the end of a session. I will definitely read up and watch as many videos on tilt and write some questions down that can allow me to reason with anything that might make me tilt. I should also go through a procedure which will allow me to steam off. I'm thinking exercise with some boxing or just walking away from the computer and making a drink.

Here is the progress after nearly 3k hands and its looking steady 2/4nl on betvictor.




Even if I just write this and feel some commitment to myself I think is better than passively ignoring something that is a major leak!

Take it easy

We make mistakes, we learn and then we crush! Happened to us all buddy and it may happen again. Embrace the pain/variance and just try to keep your head on properly!
