september results
01 October 2008
Ah September... not really what I was looking for results wise, but I'll take it. Managed to do a pretty good job on my goals this month, which I think will really help out in the long run. Made sure I sat 30+ hrs. during the past 30 days, and even though the hand volume isn't spectacular (just under 9,000 because I ended up 2 tabling during some rough patches) I think that the time was well spent on analyzing the particular dynamics of the tables and trying to put myself in more profitable situations.
Also, watching a good amount of videos and listening to some coaching tapes really has me thinking on a higher level than previously. I truly believe that my success at 100nl over the past few months was due to me playing pretty solid "ABC poker" and generally not making big mistakes. The more I learn about hand reading, putting opponents on ranges, optimizing my lines, getting thin value, etc. the more I realize that my play is vastly different than 1 or 2 months ago. Obviously there will be growing pains with this new approach, and I've certainly experienced them in the past month (see below). I think the important thing to remember is that while there will be small mistakes now, so long as I'm learning from them and enhancing my game they will pay off in the long run.
Here's hoping that October is an extension of the last 3,000 hands of the month!
