lol ;D
Just had a good session - for me anyway.
Zoom 10NL 1168 hands $31.55 profit 27bb/100.
What do the football managers say - dont worry about your losses too much but don"t celebrate your wins too hard. I"m off to have a beer whilst watching PCA on c4.

I am finding that i"m not having enough time to give justice to my reviews etc. i.e everything apart from playing hands. So I"ve decided to reduce my target playing time by 1 hr per day and use that time for extra poker related activities. My current target will therefore reduce to 24k hands per month from 30K. The things I"m currently doing are listed below and I would appreciate"s everybody"s thoughts and what activities will most improve my game. I need to prioritise my very significant but somewhat limited time available.
A. Playing on-line hands (obv)
B. Playing live tournaments.
C. Reviewing hands played and identifying where I could improve my profit.
D. Placing any poker hands on APAT forum which I am not sure about and responding to any posts.
E. Review other people"s posts on APAT forum especially strategy posts and responding to them.
F. Using Poker Tracker to identify other weaknesses in my game.
G. Educating myself on best use of Poker Tracker to improve my game inc. development of huds etc.
H. Reading poker books - Currently Theory of Poker ( suggested by Noble 1 and the Snapper).
I. Watching relevant videos - currently Stars tips on playing zoom tables.
Anything else I should also be doing ? Advice welcome.

Initial feeling quite happy with my performance again tonight -
1011 hands played $6.93 loss.
MTD 10,098 $45.19 profit 5.42 BB/100.
2 big losses
KKvAA pre which I cant get away from.
AK v AA with case ace on flop and SPR of 1.0 ( which I will have to review but I think played ok.)
I keep telling myself important thing is to play the hand well and the rest will take take care of itself in the long run. :-\

Another session complete. Not much happening today I think I"m not making it happen enough. Red line like a sinking ship again.! Very small profit for today.
Month to date - 11,101 hands, (on target) $45.74 profit, 4.98BB/100 ( compared to 8BB/100 target.)
Really need to review agression and stats I think.

Did a bit of mannual investiagtion with my session yesterday.
Very surprised to find that of the $8 loss on non showdown hands all of it related to preflop hands - with $7.20 won and $14.95 lost on pre flop hands. Even though this may be an extreme example I am sure the pattern is similar throughout a lot of my sessions.
I think its feasible still to make a profit because you are then regularly playing with better hands post flop and at showdown. However having to overcome the handicap of the preflop loss plus the rake , totalling perhaps 12BB/100, before you can start making a profit, it is less likely that a long term good profit rate can be achieved.
So I need to address the problem which I plan to start doing straight away. Does anybody who uses PT4 know if I can easily pick up my preflop profit/loss (as opposed to non showdown profit) for each session, so that I can continue to monitor progress.
