    Default Operation: To Simply Get Better!

    Hello Fellow FTRers,

    My name is Francesca, I am 19, and undecided to what I plan on doing for the rest of my life. I decided to post to create some dialog between you all to better my understanding of the game and therefore improve. I plan on posting my progress and once I get my PT3 up and running again I will post some stats. I have learned a lot so far from reading posts and occasionally posting, but I think its about time to step my game up here!
    A little about myself: I have been playing for about 3 months, and I play 2nl. I started playing $1 SnGs back in January and did really well, and once I felt like I had a good sized BR I moved to cash 6m. The first 3 days I played I made 15 bis and got super excited, and I have been struggling to really breakthrough since. Think I caught the FPS virus. I moved up to 5nl yesterday after finally being rolled, and then proceeded to lose a couple bis, tilt my ass off, and move back down. Ironically it was my best and worst day ever. I have come to really love/become obsessed with NLHE, because I really enjoy the logical/mathematical/money making aspect of it. Although I am still working on improving in all 3 areas. I try to play every day for a couple hours, although in between work and all my other daily activities sometimes its hard to do. I also read pretty much everything I can get my hands on and discuss with a few of my friends who are much better then me. I would specifically like to get better at the mathematical aspect of poker i.e. Pot odds, implied odds etc. I understand how to do it, but applying it mid hand stresses me out sometimes and I freeze up. I am thinking its probably due to my inexperience. Soo....my immediate goals are:

    1. Keep my tilting in check
    2. Improve reading hands and calculating pot odds etc in the moment
    3. Move up to 5nl within the next month
    4. Get a good enough understanding of the game to feel comfortable posting regularly and debating on subjects
    5. Stay motivated even if I am discouraged (I figured posting regularly on here would help)

    So I would love to hear anyones comments or advice or questions as I continue to post! Thanks for reading
