What the hell is this guy doing starting a second operation already. Well in hindsight some of the reasons for the initial operation are not relevant to me anymore and I want to start fresh with a completely different mindset to improving my game. Many other posters have also started new operations this year which I will be following.

This operation is going to be about me trying to evolve my game from my current nitty 6Max game. Currently running 14/11 at 100NL 6Max with a winrate of 2ptbb/100. If this continues then fine but I feel loosening up in the correct spots will hopefully increase my winrate. I am almost rolled with 30BI for 200NL but I want to play several thousand more hands at 100NL before taking more regular shots. I am not setting myself any hard and fast targets apart from being proactive in improving my game. Over last few months FTR has been invaluable in giving me a good start in my poker journey. 2008 at 100NL 6Max looks like this at the moment;





Some of the areas in which I think I need to evolve my game are;

1) Loosen up.
2) Better ability to put opponents on hand ranges.
3) Be more aggressive with my draws.
4) Do not allow my current upswing/downswing state affect plays. Downswing = bigger nit, upswing = a looser nit.
5) Increase bluffing frequency.
6) Increase 3 betting range in suitable spots.
7) Less folding, more raising, more value betting.
8) Understand better strat posts by the FTR regs.

In the past when I have tried to apply some of this stuff it had a habit of turning into random spew and I need to avoid this as much as possible by being clear in my mind why I am making the play I am making and is it +EV play. If 2008 ends with me being a winning 14/11 (or worse) nit then I will be happy enough but I feel there is more out there to be had. Go, go, go!
