Right Action
changing the object of the game
- Instead of always sitting down to "make money" you change the object of the game, can be for instance.
*Today I want to try that new seat selection ting
- A tool, ideas to implement new things to the game. And this itself is right action.
Bankroll, under the heading of Right action
net worth (Everything)
poker bankroll (What you only play poker for)
pocket bankroll (What you have available at that moment.)
table bankroll (What's right in front of you, what you have in front of you.)
Thinking of it this way, is really healthy for your bankroll. These labels can be helpful making good decisions.
The purpose of your poker bankroll
"it's like buying mental insurance"
- What you need to avoid risk of ruin, and/or so you can keep on your A game, so you're never freaking out of going out of money.
Moving up
- Usually the minimum is 300BB or 20bi (Is a bit absurd.)
- There needs to be a range, so you don't move up, post the Big blind, then you don't have enough bi, and need to move down?
- Taking shots ? smartest to do strategically. So you decide the amount of "BI/BB" you want to use in that shot. Find out exactly how much you're going to take a shot with.
Moving down
- Moving down is just part of the game. Have to accept there will be big backward streets.
(Ideally we want to get to a place where we're not ashamed of it, but playing bad is part of poker, it's about accepting reality as it is.)
"Each day that we wake up, our bankroll is what it is, and it doesn't matter how it got there."
- Ideally you want to make a decision based on the size of your bankroll. Take the ego out of it, best you can.
This of moving up as a skill set unto itself. Think about the challenges that will be common to all of your move-ups, and prepare:
* You might not survive forever at the higher level. You might need to employ one of the vital skills for moving up, which is moving down.
Bankroll tilt: If you're one of the people who like to go higher stakes when you go on tilt, might be very smart to keep smaller amounts on that site.
Selections
* Site selection
- People have their own prefrance, the skin, the rake, the traffic, the software.
* Game selection
- Nl, razz, omaha, fixed, fullring, 6max, hu, tournaments so forth, smart to stick to what ur best at and excell
* Table selection, by way of rejection
- Find good games, and leave when they go sour
* Stakes selection
- all related to bankroll, what is your comfort zone, and where you like to play to keep emotional stability. Good idea to have 3 ranges, find the softest.
* Seat selection / and rejection
- This one is huge, important decision which makes a huge difference in the long run. You want TIGHT players on your left (flop seen %.) More important than having a loose player at your right.
- You don't want a complete maniac on your left
"Make your seat selection decisions as if the object of the game is to be last to act on as many streets as possible."
Live poker crap
- Look at your cards just when you get them, so you won't get in a sticky situation by looking at them when it's your turn and everyone is looking at you.
- Be ready to often look to ur left, to try and find out if he's going to bet, raise or call, really smart.
- Fast-roll is cool and smart if you're a good guy, slow-rolling is for idiots.
- Don't act super fast when it gets to you, breath think, then do stuff.
- Some people get more comfy wearing sunglasses and hats, if you do, that's fine, even though a lot of people are going to judge you. But you don't care about that.
Firstlessness
"Any player who consciously makes a move toward more firstlessness rates to increase their score by doing so." (At least a good experiment to try.)
"Don't chase your blinds."
Miscellaneous topics
Number of tables to play
- Live, smart to play just 1.
- If you know the number of most tables you can play, smart to cut down 1-2 tables of that.
Going pro
- It's a lot harder than everybody think it is
- For the people that it's right for, it's worth the risk, it's worth the pain
- Extremely personal topic, that's why so many people hire coaches.
Judge versus Evaluate
- When you encounter ideas, or things that happen, what other people do. You don't immediately think "that's right, that's wrong" You act above the act of judging, you observe.
Summary
- The best thing any player can do, is to sit upright, breathe. Literally puts a roadblock into the stream of unconscious thoughts that binds us to ego, cravings and desire. Helps us focus, concentrate and being mindful.
Some explanation of harmlessness at the deepest level in some buddhist thing
"When we harm ourselves, we are harming others, and when we harm others, we are harming ourselves." (Because we are all one, won't make any sense to a lot of people, but that's how it is.)
* If that's too complicated, start with, do no harm to yourself, don't blame yourself, don't be so hard on yourself.

It's just summary/notes from the series. Didn't find this one as useful either.
I'm thinking bout writing down my notes from the Leatherass book, but I'm not sure if it will make sense, I have over 20 pages of notes from it, and for some reason I've written with such a godawful hand writing, I can hardly understand what I've written lol. |
