I guess I'm pretty happy with January.
Took 4-5 stabs on 50nl, but lost a few buy ins each time, I went down to 20nl, and grinded up again, and repeated.
But it went pretty well on 20nl. Here are my stats. Still struggling with having a negative red line, dunno why. Feel I keep emptying the clip, grrr.
(ok, nvm I can't seen to upload image, it just keeps loading, nothing's happening, and the imageshack adress I used either changed or got removed.)
BB/100 = 3.8 sample size 30.000 hands, 5 tabling 20nl, 70hours
Other goals were pretty good too, maybe spent 40 hours or so this month studying poker, read a few books, lots of articles, maybe watched 12 video's and gotten a few new LP friends on msn.
When it comes to training, I went to the gym 7 times, 8 if counting tomorrow, and a few trips just walking. So pretty happy with that too =]

I just wanna comment as I go with the post since there is so much to think about.
I have played poker for 4-5 years now, and I have concluded that what I actually have learned and value most of my is what is called Self Regulation or Self Regulated Learning by researchers in metacognition.
Zimmerman (2000) defines self-regulation as the self-generated thoughts, feelings, and actions that are planned and cyclically adapted to the attainment of personal goals. [Zimmerman, B. J. (2000). Attaining Self-Regulation: a social cognitive perspective.]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulated_learning
- To look at yourself with no delustions, no distortions. It means to be able to step out of ourself and observe ourself in a situation, and be able to objectively evaluate what we are doing without emotional entanglement. This is the rightest view of all, that can help us at the poker table, and anywhere we are. Especially if we find ourself struggling with strong emotions we wish we didn't have.
"Right view is just the act of being able to view yourself, and being able to say "I am angry now" Without saying "there's something wrong with me for being angry" - Observer yourself as a machine that needs to regulate, that needs to adjust. And knowing you are a adjusting machine makes yourself at ease when observing weaknesses. You can find great strengths in knowing you are dynamic. Your intelligence is not static! NOTHING IS STATIC!
You wrote about Observation and Evaluation, let me point out that this is to be used to Revise everything that is observed - now therefore one should observe EVERYTHING so all that everything can be adjusted and revised to attain your goal, and that includes oneself, and how oneselves' thinking processes as well - how to observe that?
... being able to say "I am angry now" ...
... It means to be able to step out of ourself and observe ourself in a situation...
I love what you write, I have concluded the same things, poker is a very good example of a situation (as well as life itself) where you need to learn how to learn even faster and better, to be able to be great. Just learning all day around in a normal speed is not enough, you need to improve your learning as well, to learn at greater speed!
Okay im gonna keep reading the post now. |
