Operation Discpline

I finished an operation lastnight that I started on paper and thought I should post here if only to reflect on later to keep myself on track.The purpose of the operation was to start tracking my winrate while forcing myself to practice some discipine in my overall game.The operation was to play 2000h over 10 sessions at 200h a session.One reason for this was to break myself of the habit of sitting down to play if I had 15 or 20 mins to kill and to not leave the table just because I got stacked off due to a bad beat or a horrilby played hand on my part(more often the latter but I'll never admit to that ).It's time to get serious about this shit.

My goal was to tighten up my starting range to 20%,c-bet less often,and v-bet more often.I find myself picking up lots of pots c-betting only to lose it all(or more) double or triple barreling into huge pots later.I'm trying to lower my v-bets to 1/2 the pot or less because I seem to chase off alot of hands with 2/3 or 3/4 pot sizes.

results: 7 buyins/2000h or I guess 35bb/100

I realize that this is way to small a sample to judge winrate by but it's a start.It also shows that tight/straight up poker used as a foundation can be profitable especially when trying to learn.I post HHs,read articles,read others posts and replies and try to apply my newly learned concepts to my game.Then I confuse the crap out of myself.What did Spoon say about implied odds?What was that thing about fold equity?Is this a +EV call?

So back to step 1: Play tight straight up poker

Then go back and post hands,study,read,learn,relearn,apply learned concepts,forget learned concepts...I'm stuck on step 1 right now but thats ok.I'll keep learning and keep playing and someday I'll be better for it.I've learned this much so odds are I'll pick up the rest on the way.

I'll update this blog as often as I feel I have something of value to add to it and I'll probably add some backstory and a few rants but right now I gotta go play some poker.
