A handful of poker techniques will surprise you with their simplicity. This is sample. Take down your outcomes, every single time you compete.
Chapel of Texas Holdem Verse #3:
You must write down thy wins and thy squanders; for it is the sum of all a mans achievements which create his bottom line.
How accurate is up to you. I tend to believe that hourly specifics and that kind of intimate information is wasted. Basically figure out how far ahead you are and how much (if any) you’ve withdrawn. Certainly, if you do not win, note that too, regardless of how much it hurts.
Do not omit to note what sort of poker you are playing, if that’s important to you. (In my expertise, most gamblers keep to what they know and don’t experiment. If all you note is up, down and withdrawals, you’re way ahead of a majority of players out there!)
Give yourself actual goals, such as a ‘dream’ goal (new auto, get-a-way or anything else). When you withdraw, add the $$$$$ withdrawn to your dream counter. The greater the success you have, the nearer that dream will get!
