gonna update this later..lol
My theory on plans
For cash the "Four Factor theory"
Every decision shud be based on four factors:
Card Strength
Position
Opponents
Odds (including implied odds)
For MTTs the "Six Factor theory"
Card Strength
Position
Opponents
Odds (including implied odds)
Stack Sizes /Blinds
Payout Structure
The weighting of each factor depends on the scenario and I'll need to explain what each factor consists of in detail (tbd); the key is to weight each factor correctly (and proportionally) to come to a decision of whether to check fold call or bet and how much to bet if applicable
When people say things like "you shud check raise draws", or "you should bet out sets" etc, they are sometimes right / sometimes wrong - what they shud actually say is "you should review the situation and all the important factors then decide whether its better to bet out or check raise, etc." because every scenario is completely different (thats what makes poker so interesting!)
You can use programs to support these factors - e.g. HEM and sharkscope provide more information on your opponents (although sometimes the weighting of your opponent factor might be 0% so it wont matter anyway, like if you have AA pre and someone has gone all in for your whole stack then your cards will have 100% weight)
or e.g. a list of starting hands to play preflop might support your cards factor (however you might change your opening or calling range based on who your opponent is or what your position is so this would affect the weighting accordingly)
anyway updatesss:
sponsored accounts last month down 3.5k arghh this month up 7k scoop
The plan I put in place a few months ago I'm still following for sessions and studying, currently reading "Harrington on cash" and having reg sessions with my mentor - we had an awesome one start of this month on game selection where I made a list of the games that are most profitable for my style (advanced searched on sharkscope to find out) and then went thro the sites and put all those games into a list which I now use to decide what games to play before every session.
Only part of the plan I'm not doing is updating my blog lol
Cash paid for my pc/3 monitors/ gfx card and wireless card and is currently on about 500 and owed about 150 in RB (it started on 100$ lol) - Slowing down until paycheuq then i can top up roll to 1k and play 25 50 scoop
cash is harder than MTTs not only cos your battling the rake but because there is a lot less Turn and River play in MTTs especially the later stages where there is a lot less deepstacks (more all-ins or stack commitment preflop and postflop which means results are a lot more luck orientated)
