Im going to save the graphs for whenever they actually become meaningful.

But yeah I had a good session. The past couple of weeks have been somewhat frustrating. My original plan was just to regrind about the 5 buyins I needed to play NL 25 again...But I got my hands on a book so Ive been devoting 80% or so of my poker time to studying.

Applying the concepts were somewhat frustrating, and I experienced a patch of some swingy sessions. Ive learned that its better to be a learner than a winner. But nobody likes to lose of course.

Anyway this morning I decided to spend most of my day playing. I ran well at NL 10. I played pretty well also I think, and I applied alot of the concepts. So once I hit a ~700 I played a bit of NL 25 as I felt my game was really sharp at the time, and I ended up winning a bit there, which was nice.

Im posting updates cause awhile ago I used the search function to look at my old threads to see what my thought processes were back then. And I can see that alot of the people on LP have been really awesome in trying to help me learn how to play. But I saw that often Ive made alot of the same mistakes in poker. I may not even have remembered certain players have tried to help me in the past and stuff. I imagine coming from the perspective of a mentor, a bad student is probably a frustrating thing...especially since I have been playing micros for awhile. But I feel I have treated poker very unprofessionally in the past, and for sporadic commitments...And I feel like I am alot more serious this time.

Anyway yeah. Thx in general.

What? If you are learning the right stuff it should improve your game and make your winnings even higer. Of course you shouldn't throw away stuff that makes sense, just because it didnt work 1 or 2 times or you lost some money over a small sample.
