A handful of poker strategies will surprise you with their ease. This is 1 of them. Note your outcomes, every time you gamble.
Cult of hold’em Verse #four:
Thou must write down your successes and your loses; for it is the total of all a persons achievements which create his basis.
How detailed is your decision. I tend to think that hourly details and that kind of personal information is not needed. Simply figure out how far up you are and how much (if anything) you’ve withdrawn. Of course, if you do not win, record that too, despite how much it hurts.
Don’t overlook to record what sort of poker you are playing, if that’s critical to you. (In my expertise, most gamblers stick to what they understand and don’t try something they do not know. If all you do is keep winnings, loses and withdrawals, you are way ahead of most gamblers around!)
Provide yourself realistic goals, such as a ‘dream’ goal (new auto, holiday or whatever). When you withdraw, add the $$$$$ withdrawn to your dream tally. The more successful you are, the closer that goal will be!
