22nd July

Day off, just Blogger. Will start to have one day off every week. No poker at all :)

21st July

Session 1
Hands     533
Time       1 hour 5 minutes
WR         +10.88
Money    + 1.16
Blinds     0.02


My Thoughts During Session

Thinking progress

What kind of hand You are representing?
Which position did You open?
What opponent might think about You hand?
Did She/He opened with raise or call?
Is She/He will fight back? (Cbet Tbet)
Is pot worth to fight?
Can You make hand HU?
Is hand going probably Showdown?
Are You able force opponent to Fold?

Make You life easier - play mostly HU pots

Did pick up some unnecessary fights

Other people thinking too :) - same mistake like yesterday. Did build up pot (he/she did let me) and lost all in at the river wit QQ vs 222 (small rainbow flop/turn/river). better play might be - if somebody will call double Barrel just leave river bet to them if You don't have nuts. ? Why did I push all in again?

Then Board Texture is better for caller - leave Cbet out

Did find some players Double Barreling with flush and straight draws - Thank God they stopping at the river (Got to look hand review - might be something specific in their play) Got to use it to benefit myself

Still playing automatically in some points - UPS -session is too long

Session 2
Hands     408
Time       55 minutes
WR         + 17.89
Money    + 1.46
Blinds     0.02



My Thoughts During Session

Show weakness when You are strong

Remember Bragging Bet and Begging Bet

No limping on Blinds - too much trouble -OOP

If You wanna play calling game - limp sometimes at Button (Prefer against maniac)

Why is ''easy fold'' so hard = You are waiting and.....waiting(like fisherman) and then You will catch something...... too bad- fish is under measure - You have to let it back to sea. No fish for dinner tonight. Got to order home delivery or go to supermarket :)

20th July

Session 1
Hands     397
Time       46 minutes
WR         + 27.46
Money    + 2.18
Blinds     0.02

Session 2
Hands     403
Time       52 minutes
WR         - 34.00
Money    - 2.74
Blinds     0.02


My Thoughts During Session

REMEMBER - calling on Blinds is BAD GAME PLAY.You will be OOP at Flop

No All Ins - no matter how long You have to wait decent cards in right position

Fighting with myself. Still breaking myself. Will try calm down = no action for long time

REMEMBER - to call 3 bet only 88+:AQ+. Bit depending about opponent but not that much = THIS IS MICRO LEVEL.

Finally action. Did build up Pot From Flop =333. Wanted to make sure he/she will call my all in River Bet. He/she did....and I lost 333 to 101010. Did hit also at Flop and did let me build pot = good play :)

At least I did finish at promised Time :)

Session 3
Hands     408
Time       54 minutes
WR         + 44.85
Money    + 3.66
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

Did forget again not to call 3 bets under 88:AQ

Battling with myself = no calls at SB o BB = Fold o Raise

It is so easy to go with flow. Zoom is fast game...but..You got to REMEMBER...Play in You own tempo and You own Game.

Maybe You can call on Blinds then opponent FCbet is 100, HU. You only play can be to Cbet strongly, if He/She will fight back just walk away. If You are not sure You are able to do it - better stick to NO CALLS BB or SB

It is a lot to remember in every session I know. This might be a reason why You got to play 100 000 hands. You will remember adventitiously . It all takes time - can't rush anything in this Game

It is long long waiting (like hunter) to find somebody who is so p...ssed off and will start to make mistakes

Double Barrel everybody who's FCBT is 100

Session 4
Hands     388
Time       43 minutes
WR         + 24.48
Money    + 1.90
Blinds     0.02





19th July

Session 1
Hands     402
Time       51 minutes
WR         - 46.02
Money    - 3.70
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

Did call all in with 1010 - late position raise = lost to AA. When will I learn/no need to go all in preflop. Plenty of opportunities will come up during session. Probably just started session and hungry to win. Got to remember - this is SLOW PROGRESS GAME

An other all in. Started from 3 bet/ then 4 bet = lost KK vs AA. Bad Luck. Did squeeze at preflop to go HU. Didn't work this time. Not bad play = but sometimes You will Win and Sometimes You will Loose :)

Session 2
Hands     402
Time       48 minutes
WR         + 25.37
Money    + 2.04
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

Still learning to give up hands after long waiting to get something decent

Will need more patient to wait at the blinds

Reason to stay LEVEL 1 till it is beaten -Got to make so many mistakes till You will learn to not make them anymore

Got to be stronger in my mind - NO LIMPING in on Blinds. Don't give others leading position. REMEMBER -You are OOP. Very wrong game play

Missed several opportunities by hurrying to fold CO or Button. Remember to steal with any two cards in those positions then FTS is over 80

Session 3
Hands     404
Time       46 minutes
WR         + 5.57
Money    + 0.45
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

If You will call check/raise and after that no bet from opponent on later streets - bet strongly on River

Session 4
Hands     396
Time       47 minutes
WR         - 1.06
Money    - 1.06
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

Be afraid if somebody will call all around hand and then suddenly will bet big at the river

18th July

Session 1
Hands     402
Time       48 minutes
WR         + 4.06
Money    + 0.37
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

KEY THING TO REMEMBER

Try to avoid calling Big River Bets

Focus Missed Double Barrel Bets

Remember to steal with any two cards Then FST is High (80+)

Forget to steal then 4 bet is High (Only if You are ready to make 5 bet)

4 bet High 3 bettors with A or K in You hand (better same suite with other card)

MISTAKE - Called all in with AA = small rainbow flop

Avoid all All Ins - It takes way to long to get chips back

Session 2
Hands     408
Time       51 minutes
WR         + 15.44
Money    + 1.26
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

Call 3 bets only 88+ or AQ+

You probably must to do something others don't - If we all are doing same things nobody wins - so far I figured out it might be 3 bet and 4 bet more often then most players

Board Texture - do not call with top pair if it is too dangerous

If possible SQUEEZE - do not let limpers to see Flop = more players will see it - most likely somebody will Hit. Best way to play against is Heads Up.

No SLOWPLAY -faster You are able to finish Hand  better it is (includes give up You hand - less losses)

Session 3
Hands     385
Time       41 minutes
WR         + 8.57
Money    + 0.66
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

Did call late position all in with KK = Lost to AJ. Again - no need to call all ins. Couldn't resist :)



17th July

Session 1
Hands     399
Time       45 minutes
WR         +38.47
Money    + 3.07
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During session

You can bluff ONLY  then opponent shows weakness.
Example - He/She makes Cbet at Flop and misses Turn bet. Do it (even if You did not hit...and bit bigger then half pot)...it works

ATTENTION TO MISSED DOUBLE BARRELS!

And opposite - if You did hit something - leave the Turn Bet to oponent. Mostly they will make it at the River to scare You away

You got to play with bet sizes - It seems to be scary thing for some = most players are use to half or full pot size bets

Less then half size bet - BEGGING BET
3/4 size bet                 - BRAGGING BET

Do not go this trap = everybody is limping in pot and You will play along. If You don't have proper hand to play in right position - just walk away

Session 2
Hands     399
Time       52 minutes
WR         + 28.45
Money    + 2.27
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

If on the table is possible Flush or Straight make Begging Bet

Session 3
Hands     429
Time       49 minutes
WR         - 3.26
Money    - 0.28
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

Then at the River Flush or Straight did not complete and opponent did miss Turn bet - make Bragging Bet on River = He/She did not hit. CAN'T CALL DOWN THOSE HANDS ANYMORE

STAT Cbet under 35 and suddenly CBets = most likely he/she did hit = walk away

To Steal Blinds or not

STEAL =  FtoSteal   High                     NOT  =  3bet High
                  FvsSteal  High                                    AGGR High
                  FCbet      High                                    FCbet   Low
               
Do not ReSteal then Steal is Low

Got to 4 bet more = Focus on High 3bettors (8+)

MISTAKE - Did Bluff Unbluffable

Session 4
Hands     360
Time       37 minutes
WR         +17.78
Money    + 1.28
Blinds     0.02

My Thoughts During Session

Don't Forget to bet then nobody shows up interest
               

13th July

Session 1
Hands     974
Time       3 hous 38 minutes
WR         - 43.57
Money    - 42.44
Blinds     0.10

Did hit an other rock bottom. Really close to finish everything...but....decided to go on. Did take 3 days off without any poker. Made one unused room in my house '' poker playing office''. It is ready now :)
Will start all over - this time with proper bankroll management - using CG Bankroll Challenge sheet (did post it earlier) and will try to beat Levels one by one. Will treat this time poker like work. - will play only in my new ''office''. No TV, no chatting with family members  = only me and dogs :). Will try to not go to high or to low. Wish me luck ....again :)

Good reading then everything goes wrong :)

ONE TO ONE BY MYSELF ABOUT LAST WEEK

Performance/ attendance to work      24 : 17           = around 70% 
Study                                                  6 : 0 hours     = 0%
Money overall                                   - 1.04

Not very good - Still breaking myself and my work habits. Right now pretty bad.
Surprised it is not bigger minus. Got to focus and start to work again. Still have half year to complete this challenge. Right now back to Level ONE. Will take maybe some shots at LEVEL 2 and 3 this week. Did read and study today over long time and also did post under Pages 

Cash Game Bankroll Management Spreadsheet

http://blog.microrollers.com/2010/03/cash-game-bankroll-management.html

It might be helpful if I will remember to fill it up.

MAIN THING = Got to Focus Again :)

Didn't play any hands yesterday (No Poker at all - no study, no hands review etc. = nothing).
Did decide from now on one day a week ABSOLUTELY without poker. And every week. :)
Today just didn't have time to play more - STILL BREAKING MYSELF. Got to work with my work ethic :)
