so due to a severe lack of consistent playing or studying all this year my game has regressed to the point where i have practically 0 confidence in my decision-making abilities and so i begin to tilt/second guess myself every time i lose a pot whenever i decide to play. this obviously happens a lot in poker and so my efforts have been sporadic and mostly tilty since i stopped grinding 2+hours/day some time at the end of last year. so i've decided i'll make one last shot at grinding up from very bottom (again) and turning poker back into a reasonably profitable and enjoyable way to spend my time. i've withdrawn all but $40 and my plan is to attempt to grind through the stakes using the 20BI bankroll strategy i've always used. the focus however for the first while will be solely on developing skill, not money, and because the actual $ amounts are so low, i'll probably only bother looking at results once a month or something. in my study i plan to go back to basics and just start going over heaps of HH's and get my hand-reading and mental pot equity estimating skills up to scratch. i'll be playing 6max on FTP, and never more than 4 tables. and never for more than 1.5 hrs/day. i'll probably post any study i do in here because i can convert hands and add text to them which makes it far easier than using notepad as i have been doing.

honestly i wouldn't be surprised if this thing falls in a heap pretty promptly as my poker aspirations are far lower than they were a year ago and i'm utterly terrible at committing to routines. but i like having a project to work on so i thought i might as well give "serious" (hahahaha) poker one last try before i decide to throw away a hobby that was/could maybe be once again highly enjoyable, stimulating, and profitable.

now i'm going to play some poker.
