November Wrap Up




November Breakdown

82 hours played

1140 profit

14/hour

My biggest issue with this month is that I was lazy about keeping track of my sessions and I didn't make my sessions clean. I need to sit at the computer for 1-2 hours and focus on poker. No email, no surfing the internet, no youtube, no myspace, no facebook. Then when my session is over I need to get in the habit of restarting the computer. 

This month I was challenged by a 4 day flu, computer issues on both computers, as well as knee attention issues. I didn't deal with these challenges very well, and I reverted back to some of my old tilting ways. I also broke tons of my poker rules. So many that I'm gonna list them all right here cuz I need a refresher.

November was a failure. Hoping for good things from November and that I am able to learn from these mistakes. I broke every one of my rules this month and that is why I didn't have a higher hourly win rate. 

My Poker Rules

  1. Take a break every 1 hour of play
  2. Do not play when on tilt
  3. 3 table before I 4 table in order to get reads
  4. Do not play without PT stats of each player up and running
  5. Do not play on Sundays
  6. If I cannot recognize who the donk is at a table who I have a big edge over, leave the table immediately.
  7. Do not sit at tables with lags on my left. 
  8. Do not play marginal hands preflop.
  9. No surfing the net, checking email, listening to music while I play.
  10. Make my sessions clean, get on, play for a block of time, then GET OFF THE COMPUTER
  11. Keep track of how many hands I play per day.
  12. Keep track of how many hours I play per day.
  13. Do not constantly think about my bankroll size or my current loss/profit for the day.
  14. Do not play marginal hands out of position. Tighten up out of position.
  15. Do not play sick, physically or mentally.
  16. Take care of important stuff before I play poker, bathing, brushing, errands, tasks, etc. 
  17. Give my maximum attention to each hand that I play
  18. Think about whether to bet, raise, or fold, each time I make a decision
