Some poker strategies will surprise you with their simplicity. This is sample. Note your results, every time you bet.
Chapel of Texas Holdem Verse #4:
Thou must write down thy successes and thy squanders; for it is the sum of all a mans achievements which generate his basis.
How accurate is your decision. I tend to believe that hourly info and that type of personal information is not needed. Basically figure out how much in front you are and how much (if anything) you’ve taken out. Of course, if you are beaten, record that too, no matter how much it hurts.
Don’t neglect to note what type of poker you are playing, if that is important to you. (In my expertise, most players stick to what they understand and don’t try something they do not know. If all you record is up, loses and what you’ve taken out, you’re light years in front of almost all players around!)
Give yourself actual goals, such as a ‘dream’ target (new vehicle, get-a-way or anything else). When you take out, add the dollars taken out to your dream counter. The more successful you are, the closer that dream will be!
