so i decided to dig this thing up from the depths of the blogs and operations forum. i'm just going to use this thread to dump all my mental clutter. plans, notes for improvement, goals, rules, concepts, progress reports, whatever. my poker brain seems to be more active more often when i'm regularly updating one of these things.

been running like jamie gold lately. up something like 2.2k bb (not PTBB) at 50nl this month. temptation is high to move on up to 100nl (especially after some successful bumhunting expeditions) but i know i have an absolute fuckton i can improve on which is probably best done while still at the 50's so that the transition up to 100nl is a smoother one. so i'll stick it out at the 50's where i'm more comfortable and i know more about the player pool for the time being (probably until i clear the $650 platinum bonus - should take about 2 months)

here's my graph for the year thus far (obviously unsustainable winrate but wotev. it's nice to run good.)



SO.

goals for the remainder of the month:
- 7.5k veeps for platinum star
- watch/take notes on 1 Grinderschool video per day
- don't look at the fucking cashier (i've been really bad with this lately. has to stop)

i also made a list somewhere of topics which i think i could refine my skills in that i intend to study in the future using things like flopzilla, pokerstove, etc from memory it included:
- the preflop 3/4/5 bet game
- playing postflop in 3b pots
- cbetting, double barreling, triple barreling
- blind play (optimal stealing/restealing ranges etc etc)
- bet sizing in general
- analysis of regs in my database along lines of weak/balanced/strong ranges and how to go about making life hell for them.

so i might post some of my typical bullshit on one or more of these topics in this thread in the future as i study them. might not.

hope all is swell elsewhere in the world.
