A number of poker strategies will surprise you with their ease. This is sample. Jot down your outcomes, every time you play.
Cathedral of hold’em Psalm #4:
Thou must write down your wins and thy loses; for it’s the sum total of all a persons accomplishments which develop their bottom line.
How accurate is your decision. I tend to think that hourly details and that type of intimate detail is wasted. Basically work out how much in front you are and what amount (if anything) you have taken out. Naturally, if you are beaten, record that too, despite how much it hurts.
Don’t overlook to record what style of game you’re gambling on, if that’s crucial to you. (In my experience, most players hold to what they understand and do not experiment. If all you note is up, down and withdrawals, you’re light years in front of almost all players out there!)
Give yourself actual ambitions, like a ‘dream’ target (new auto, get-a-way or whatever). When you withdraw, add the $$$$$ withdrawn to your dream tally. The greater the success you have, the closer that dream will get!
