The Purge

We're quite happy with the memory upgrade of the Kingston SSD Now 128 GB drive. We have half of the SSD drive memory still available and the old hard drive memory as external storage.

We need to structure SPR ratio understanding. First we'll read excerpts from the Professional No Limit Hold'em book and consider an immediate purchase.

Our playing style needs some definition. The 101 basic style with slightly increased aggression from the CO and the BU is appropriate thru 20K hands.

We'll implement the HUD from Crushthegame.com. However, we now think we'll need to develop our own. We should have the 101 style as a distinct player type. We'll start work on that now.

Next on the priority list is to study use of Poker Stove. See the excellent video tutorial at www.splitsuit.com.

We're liking the info on that site and expect to use it in the near future.

We've started purging our hand histories from PT3. There's no need to keep Tilt, Stars, Absolute and Bodog histories since we've decided to change to the Merge Network. The elapsed time on the purge is 15.5 with an estimated time of 69.5 so we won't be able to play for about 3 days. There's a lot of planning til then.

We're now defining immediate goals.

Delay an Upmove

After considerable thought, we choose to delay for at least two weeks our move to a higher level.

Our graph of results could look much better.

Currently, we are showing loses that might be a divergence from stated 101 principles.

It would be good to show some recovery like two or three buy in winning streak.

There are some instances in which we pushed QQ and AK too aggressively where a fold would have shown far less variance.

We made notes on all six lectures from the 101 series and noted instances on the forum where a less aggressive stance might be preferable.

The Forum is a tool we haven't used enough. We need to read others posts and post our own hands.
