Algae Eater
I am weeeeee and i am a poker loser. I like to call myself the algae eater. The purpose of the algae eater is to sit at the edges of the tank and suck algae. This is me. I like to make the tank look pretty. I do just enough to make the tank look pretty and rocks shine at the bottom. I don't like to swim around the fish that are swimming and I could care less with the food that is dropped into a tank. Algae eaters don't die as quick as the other fish too. They don't have to fight for the food for they eat algae. There is plenty of algae.
I like to call myself the algae eater is because my fight was not there. I serve only myself and claim i am really good at poker but I am not. I just suck algae and also suck at poker. I have decided that I love this game so much that I don't want to just be a standard poker player. I also believe that most of the poplulation of poker players are in the same tank as me. They would claim they aren't fish but they really just suck algae.
I identify myself as follows.
Deposit as little amount of money as possible with hopes to run it up in the session.
i devote a few days to good sessions. If i win that session, i am a good poker, if i lose in the session, i am a loser of poker and I go on tilt
I tilt and then donk off the rest of the losing (in hopes to win back what I lost).
I claim i have a good bankroll management strategy. It's great management when I first deposit. It's wonderful if once i deposit, i have a winning session, it's great when I have a second day winning session but when I don't have a good day, i lose.
I win pots. I control pots on losses.
I hate it when I am coolered.
I hate it when I am bad beat. Everyone elses fault
Bad move with me since I was crushed.
I can ramble more but i have decided that I can make a decision to play better poker for a long term +EV approach. I want to make a run for it and learn, study and be real with myself to determine that I am going to get better. I hope to look back at this first post and say and lay claim that I let others clean my tank for me and also be able to teach other algae eaters to quit cleaning tanks and start getting better.

Over 10K of hands, i am for the first time not in the red. Yay! I am about 2bb/100 hands but thats was a goal for the month. I have worked on the following things.
-study 1 hour 3 days a week. I admit, I didn't achieve the goal or can check it off. I at least decided to join RIO.
-play 10K hands in the month check
-connect with someone to discuss poker with. Check
-be in positive for bb/100 hands
So i hope that at the end of the month, i accomplish this task
10K hands for the month
study 1 hour 3 days a week (Determined to make this happen)
find 3 leaks in my game, write it down and discuss with my poker friend about the leak.
be in positive for 2bb/100 hands in 10nl ring games over 10K of hands.
I am going to try an update this thread once every week or so. I am still grinding away in the cash grind but also weekly tourney on Saturdays. I am focusing on my Pre-Flop range and 3 bet additions. In cash, I find that I am still a little bit in the red. I am improving however i feel but it's a bummer that I am not in the black just yet.
I have been more of a tournament player which is why i may be a bit too aggressive in cash games. I am working on dialing down the 3-bet and the cold call to 3-bet. I have come to the conclusion on my hand histories that in cash, my opening range and 3 bet range are way out of wack. I hope to dial things down as I am re-working the range a bit to dial down the aggression.
The dial up aggression seems to work in the zone on tournaments however. I have made a few final tables this past week, one mainly the 2K ACR Saturday which i took 5th place and another, i bubbled final table on BOL 1K GTD game.
I am overall pleased that I am still in it it to win it. Satisfaction and study is priority as I look back and see where I need to dial it down. Its tough to get rid of the leaks in game but gotta do it.
