November was probably the most important month in my poker career. I quit poker for a while and then came back after building up a roll just for amusement from the pennies again.
On November 5th, I really sought to improve my game and looked through all my hands to fix leaks. I also changed my game from being a weak tight, semi-solid player to a much more aggressive player.
A few key things I strongly believe changed my game that I didn't do before:
- Putting my opponents on ranges based on their actions.
- Paying attention to other people's betting patterns/timing.
- Paying close attention to board texture and adjusting ranges.
oh and
- Not leveling myself with donks
Since I started doing well at NL25, I would take a step back and think about my play after each session. Sometimes I would have a winning session but knew I played like crap and just ran good. Sometimes I had killer losing sessions, but I felt very confident on how I played. I think that honesty with myself also helped me improve.
Of course that's not to say I'm a great player. I know for sure that I'm far from the best; heck, I'm only at NL50 
Anyways, here's an update of my NL50 progress. In my typical 2-3 hour sessions, I haven't had a losing one yet :
And here's my November graph.
