What else was great about March is I defeated a downswing. It really feels great beating a downswing. I get stronger with each bit of variance I encounter and it’s getting to the point where it’s pretty much a non issue.
Also as you know we recorded episode 1 and 2 for the DC series. I can really tell a big difference in my game. Coaching sessions always seem to do that for me and I’m really happy with how quick I’m improving. Besides my improved decisions at the table, I can really tell my improvement doing hand history analysis in the forums. Still not perfect, but improving.
To summarize March, I’d say I started the month a winner at 50NL and am feeling like I’m starting to get on a level where I can crush 50NL. Most notable improvement is maxing my value in spots I used to miss. I’m starting to get that feeling like I had when I had got to a point at 25NL where I was crushing it.
March Graph:
Moving forward, I think I should be ready to try and make the move to 100NL may/june. My plan is to have 35 buy ins. Currently need 6 more. Deep is gooot. Gives me room to adjust and if I go on a downswing it won’t hurt so bad especially just moving up. My plan throughout is to be rolled deep and have nitty bankroll management. Considering wanting to go professional, I don’t see any other way.
Some other thoughts, after watching episode 2 the other day, I noticed some things that I’m doing during recording that are getting on my nerves at least. I’m quite possibly being too critical of myself for obv reasons, but since I don’t make videos all the time and haven’t given a presentation since college I for sure see things I can improve on. Something else I want to improve moving forward is how clearly I explain my thought process. I think doing hh’s will certainly help and the better I get fundamentally this will improve as well. I really think this is due to my lack of forum participation the past 3-4 years and primarily playing by feel. Anyway just something I want to work on.
Other than that, I can’t wait to move into my one bedroom and ready for my new set up!

Congrats on your success in this and previous months. I too defeated a downswing this month (my first at 100NL) and it feels great. My friend has yet to experience too much of a downswing in our early 100NL careers and I worry what will happen when he does. It has made me so much stronger and, with the help of reading EOP, my inner game has grown exponentially this month.
ReplyDeleteGoing over HHs and maybe even writing out why you did certain things will def come across in the vids. See vandweller vids for how good preparation can sound.
By May/June, I'm hoping to be extremely comfortable at beating 100NL so let me know when you make the jump :) I'll hopefully be able to give you some tips.
