October Review

Is it really the end of the month already!?!

I have had a pretty good month overall and will post some stats or a graph or something later.

As far as my targets for the month are concerned I most certainly underestimated the amount of playing time I would lose with a new baby in town but things are all good right now :)

Premier League

Watch 8 Poker Videos
I actually watched more than 8 but not sure how much they benefit they have these days. I really feel like I am at a stage were I need to study my own game more and make small tweaks rather than try to incorporate things I pick up in videos.

40 2Hour Sessions - Max 4 tables
26 in total which is not bad. Also played some shorter sessions towards the end of the month which I enjoyed more (because I made $$$ obv).

Specific focus area per session
This has been huge for me. Pick a different area to focus on each session and suddenly I don’t feel the need for other things going on in the background. Not only do I notice a lot more in my ‘focus area’ for that particular session, but I remember much more from previous sessions because I was actually paying attention!

No looking at session stats during play
Getting much better at this now although I still do it in about half of my sessions. I was considering removing stats from my HEM to stop me looking at all but can’t work out how to do it on the sessions tab.

Marked Hands and 50+BB Post Session Review
Started well with this but during winning times I feel less inclined to review sessions. Not sure if this is the right attitude but I am really still searching for the best way to review sessions and I am sure I will review more when I go pro and/or my next downswing occurs.

Note - doesn’t mean I don’t review individual hands because I have been doing this quite a lot.
