I started mainly as a SNG player so my experience in cash game is somewhat limited. I had a some experience in cash games a while back when I was still experimenting and dabbled here and there for fun. At the moment I lack the experience to really crush 25nl, but have a pretty good thought process when reviewing hands or discussing situations. However, things change quite a bit when I’m actually playing and this comes back to my lack of experience. I find that my thought process becomes jumbled and incoherent. I question myself and always wonder if I’m taking the correct line. My constant self debate brings down my confidence and that is what I need to work on.
Goals for this week:
- play 3k hands
- watch Road to Robusto NL and take notes
- review 5 hands

OK so big fail on my part for this first week. I have not met any of my goals especially not the 2.5k hand one. However, I have watched Road to Robusto NL and liked it very much. Steve showed us how to kick ass by playing his normal style. He basically played what he thought to be optimal and exploited all the fishes. There were some spots that I’m a little confused about but I took a bunch of notes and I’m looking forward to discussing them with Sam and anyone else interested.
So back to meeting goals for this first week. I most likely will not be able to hit 2.5k hands, now this is not to say I have not been studying poker as I assure you, I have. I’ve been watching videos and reading forums and taking notes, but have not had the time to put in a one to two hour session let alone a string of them. School has just begun for me and a host of other chores that I had to get done since returning from vacation. Excuses aside, 2.5k hands is a pretty easy goal and I promise to hit it in the coming week. Although I won’t be able to put in 2.5k hands this week, I do plan on playing at least one session worth one to two hours to get in some hands so I have something to review with Sam.
I might post my notes on the blog after I review it with Sam and tweak it a little so look forward to that.

Sharing this blog will be an interesting experience for both Sam and I. I’ve had several failed attempts at maintaining a blog in the past and was never motivated enough to keep it going. I’m determined to keep this one going with Sam and to keep us both on track to improving our game.
Our goal for the first week is to watch some videos on DC that pertain to our limit and playing a minimum number of hands per week. We will be reviewing hands from our sessions and spots from videos and each others play. Since this will officially be the first week, we’re going to take it slow and see how things develop. GL Sam, make sure you put in the hands.
Goals for week 1:
- minimum of 2.5k hands
- watch Tubasteve’s Road to Robusto NL series (episodes 1 & 2)
