Goals:
1. Get 40 minutes of 2 tables done.
2. Play with some thoughts, maybe note down key pots
3. Work out those villains that can fold medium hands, those that can bet thinly, and those that bluff a lot, and those that play purely for value
How do I feel:
kind of tired, a bit off
How did I do:
1. yep, roughly
2. Not much of this, where did my thoughts go?
3. I was doing this on and off. I don't think I clearly got the answers I should have, and the information was there I think.
goheels (Joseph) from CR is going to assist in my learning curve. So last night I recorded a video, which I'll put audio over and send to him (or anyone else if they care for it). A little tiredness and tilt came along with the vid, but more than anything some nasty spots. If I was to analyse my plays now, there were a few too many loose bets/bluffs, but overall I think it's a great indication of where my mind is at with relation to poker right now, and since a lot of those bluffs worked, it can't all be bad. My only hesitation is that in a couple of spots, even though it worked, I risked money without "knowing" my opponent would have to fold, which is where it gets very dangerous.
If there was one positive to take out of the session, it was that I was at least thinking more about bet sizing. It's probably something I should keep fairly simple for now, but for some reason I saw value in trying some weird bets to throw my opponents off which worked OK.
Just before starting the video recording I got sucked out on with 2 pair and the flush draw versus a better flush draw on the turn. That plus the fact my computer was using 100% CPU the whole time the video was going (unrelated to Camtasia in the end) had me slightly tilted all session.
So I have to say, I have no clear goals in poker right now until I get advice from Joseph on where to focus most of my attention. I'm really pumped about putting the extra boost into my learning, but based on some of my plays last night, I can see I still have a lot of basic things like calling people down too light, calling 3 bets or opening bad hands at bad times that creep into my game when I'm not trusting/applying my reads. So in my opinion, some advice coming back will probably be, keep learning some ABC tactics. Still it should be good to hear that from a good player, and not just assume I know the answers, and always be 2nd guessing theories.
