The best part of the lesson was that Nute pinpointed like 4 or 5 major things that I was doing wrong... both with my game and approach to playing poker. Then he told me how to fix my errors. All the mistakes I've been making became crystal clear to me after he pointed them out and talked about them for a bit. I am so excited to work on what we went over in the lesson and implement it into my game.
One of the major things was perhaps playing too many hours in a day. Previously, I have been trying to get about 3 or 4 sessions in per day with each session about two hours in duration. Nute suggested that I just play 2 sesisons per day and spend the last 2 hours of my work day watching videos/ studying the game. I think this sounds like a good plan and probably something I already should have been doing... It's good to have a somewhat fixed ratio to play vs study otherwise it's just too easy to put off the studying part because it doesn't immediately make you money (obviously makes you money over the long run though).
So the first and only session I had a chance to play today ended up being a bit longer than normal... I played for three hours and ended up three buy-ins.
I was very happy with my play and was very solid overall. I even mixed in a few of the technical plays we were speaking about in the lesson into my game. I also got sucked out on once pretty hardcore in a limped pot vs a fish. That was the only time I got stacked.
In life news, I'm pretty pumped for this weekeend as duck hunting season opens on Saturday in North Dakota. In celebration of the opening of waterfowl season I'll post a pic of previous duck hunts each day until the opener.
Here's today's pic:

More than the poker content in your blog, I think it is pretty cool to see how close you are with your family.
ReplyDeleteyea, we are all pretty close. It's definitely cool to share hobbies such as shooting sporting clays and hunting with my Dad and brother. Makes it easy and fun to spend time together.
ReplyDeleteMom normally holds down the fort and stays at home but she's even gone shooting a few times as well. We all are close to her as well. I was pretty lucky to have such great parents and they are still married and together to this day.
