Week I (Day 1)

Had a great session to start things off.

Once again my Poker game was dominated by my emotions. It is so frustrating losing at NL2. I am playing some of the worst players in the world and I am losing to them.It is so frustrating knowing I have the technical skills to be a winning player but lose because of my emotions. I can play 10 000 great hands and feel like I am in the zone and then suddenly everything falls apart. The only reason why I keep playing this game is because I keep thinking that one day the emotions are going to subside and I am going to have a steady win rate.

Used 1000 FBB for $10. Also deposited $10 Current Bank Roll -15.75

Not much to say. Still struggling with tilt. I did manage to play without reacting to my emotions for a good amount of hands but then my game derailed.

Used 2000 FBB for $20. Also deposited $20 Net Profit -42.90

Hey!

Did You analyze the hands which cause You tilt? Did You had more equity against Your opponent?
Do You have steps to cope with tilt? I just stop playing sudden and try to do something else for an hour (for example wash dishes ♦ )

Anyway - just be patient everything comes with lot of hands - it is great experience You are getting with so many hands.
I wish You best of luck with Your challenge!

Thanks KKNgroup

I have been reading through "The mental game of Poker". The book is great but I need to apply what I have learned to my game. Reading the book and not applying it to my game is a huge waste of time. For week 3 I am going to get back in to the book and start using the tools it provides to combat tilt.

I can tell just by your graph that you're playing super aggressively because you think you're better than NL2 (and probably are). Just pick your spots and be more patient. When you feel tilted, take a break GL

That is exactly what I need to do. In NL2 players cant fold. This weeks strategy is to drop the red line and increase blue line. A very simple ABC poker game.

Right! Try not to bluff and just play when You hit something. And play big, when You hit something big. That is the rule.

I find it almost impossible to build up a bankroll starting with only 7 buy ins... hope to prove me wrong.

I have been depositing if required. If I go below 4 buy ins I deposit $10 so I can keep 4 zoom tables going

I do not see problem there. Even in worst case sitting there playing low and play the monsters - will definately give you profit.
