We Become What We Think About

Hats off to that! Every effort to change things to better is a victory. Keep us updated. Best of luck

Thanks for the support guys, it really helps and definitely means a lot. This month has been pretty frustrating for sure, 228 hours in and being a rb pro is definitely frustrating, it also sucks that I have ran the worst at the highest stake I have been playing which is 600nl. It's definitely true that the biggest test in poker is when you are in a downswing. I thought I would make a list of things I would like to work on more as I have just become a grinding machine this month and have spent very little time studying with my other reg friends. Also partly because we have way different time schedules and the times they are on, everyone at my house is sleeping.

A) Study more ldo.
1) Put in more time in to figure out my cbet ranges and my x/r ranges on the flop. I feel like the game has evolved quite a lot to where people are starting to cbet way less because people are just so much better at floating and playing back now. However I don't think many regs have spent much time studying/doing the math behind this and are really unbalanced besides like the sicko regs so I would like to stay ahead of the curve.
2) Also need to work more on my x/r ranges, I mean this play has been around for a while now but I want to do more work on what turns to continue with what range and what range to give up etc instead of making it up on the spot.
3) Try to become less emotionally attached, even more so then I am now. Sometimes I can't help myself but to think wtf why don't I deserve to ever suck out with A3s when I 5bet jam and then try to force the action 3b/5b at 600nl or w/e or end up spewing a stack to a guy that never folds in a 3bet pot and so on. So yea I want to cut down my aggression.
4) Put in more time into defending 3bets, coming up with a solid 4bet range and making good adjustments in game.
5) Do more work on x back spots, like what size I want to be betting on what board when flop goes check check, I think there are some spots I want to overbet and some I went to bet small but I need to figure out why and where.
6) Continue grinding hard, putting in the work over the summer and I know it will pay off. I think I'm on the verge of breaking through the plateau I was at for a long time due to talking to some very good players and spending time grinding and constantly thinking about the game. Having more aha moments, understanding how to play my range a bit better in a balanced way. I think if I just put in a lot of time into studying the things I need to study I will consistently crush mid-stakes. I mean that's my goal and I'm pretty determined to make it happen. My biggest problem with this is that I'm not very good at statistics or math so sometimes I don't understand why something is correct or how very good regs come up with certain ranges so I'm trying to learn so I can understand why certain spots are played the way there and get better at this game.

Anyway that's it for now, It got way longer than I expected but I'm happy I made this post to remind myself about spots I struggle with and could do some work in. I was doing a sweat recently with a friend, and he told me something along the lines of that from working with Jared Tendler, he learned that it's good to have uncertainty in certain situations, it means that you haven't reached your full potential and that your brain is indeed think and analyzing on how to play a certain situation better.
