Mentees Space
Hello there 👋
I created this space to share my Poker journey starting from the lowest level - NL2.
I joined RIO roughly 1 week ago, and I'm enjoying my time here. Great content and I like the way the coaches interact with our comments. Honestly, it would help me a lot to be one of the 5 monthly persons to get the free membership. If you want to support me, you know how to do it.
Nevertheless, I want to give to the community as well. Playing NL2, I don't think I can bring new ideas or excellent hands-on reviews to this thread, but I will make my effort to put every lesson I learn in a way where we can learn together. The videos I see, I take notes, and I will post the key takeaways for me. The Poker work I do outside RIO I will share here as well. The way I work my mental game, yup, I will share here as well.
I hope this can be interesting to see and, for me, enjoyable to do as well.
My goal in Poker is to reach High Stakes. I'm far, far away from getting there, but I will make an effort to climb the ladder the best I can and share it with all of you. Also, for me, this space will act as a growth journal in Poker. It will serve as my memories along this journey.
If you find this idea interesting, you can be on this journey with me.
See you in the next post!

Hey!
Preparing for the week, these are going to be my objectives:
- I'm aiming to play roughly between 3k-3,5k hands this week;
- Practice 60 GTOWiz Drills (10 free per day);
- Make 1 'Hand Reading Exercise' per day;
- Do the 'Warm-Up' before each grind session;
- Analyse my hands after session (marked ones);
- Watch/Study 7 RIO videos;
- I'm also making the FTGU by Peter Clarke (here, the goal is just to keep studying it);
- Friday will be my day off.
12.Nov.2023 (End of Week 1)
I'm aiming to play roughly between 3k-3,5k hands this week;
==> I played 3.070 hands - it's at the low end of my goal, but it's done!
Practice 60 GTOWiz Drills (10 free per day);
==> I just made 39 - the free version is limited to 24 hours (not daily), and it messes with my schedule of when I would like to do it; it's something I need to consider next week.
Make 1 'Hand Reading Exercise' per day;
==> I made 1 - it's like it didn't happen at all.
Do the 'Warm-Up' before each grind session;
==> This was done - my warm-up is currently checking some previously analyzed hands before starting playing.
Analyse my hands after session (marked ones);
==> I still have some hands to review, so I can't say this is 100% complete.
Watch/Study 7 RIO videos;
==> I studied 6 - great content, great videos, great insights.
I'm also making the FTGU by Peter Clarke (here, the goal is just to keep studying it);
==> I guess that because I put myself up to watch 7 RIO Pro Videos, I did not make the progress I should have in the FTGU - I need to finish the course next week.
Friday will be my day off.
==> This was done.
I don't want to focus on results. I'm just sharing my weekly graph for evidence purposes. I want to focus more on what I'm learning and the process I'm taking rather than the results. They are somewhat important, but they are not everything.

Hey!
Preparing for the week, these are going to be my objectives:
- I'm aiming for 4,5k - 5k hands this week;
- Practice 50 GTOWiz Drills - I will ensure I work around the 24-hour limitation;
- Make 5 'Hand Reading Exercises' this week;
- Analyse my hands after the session - marked ones with my thinking;
- Finish FTGU by Peter Clarke;
- Watch/Study at least 2 RIO Pro Videos.
Quick notes: This week will be the week where I will have more "time" to put it in Poker. The following ones, I'm sure my volume will decrease a lot. This is why I aim for 4,5k-5k hands this week to compensate for the next ones. Also, I reduced the number of drills and videos to focus on what matters - step by step, week by week. The 'Hand Reading Exercise' is still a bit foggy in my head, but the biggest goal is to come to Sunday with 5 trials of this exercise.
20.Nov.2023 (End of Week 2)
==> I played 3.227 hands - My workload was higher than I anticipated, so I missed my goal here;
==> I did 20 - Again, the limitation being 24 hours and not "daily" messes with my time slot to do it. Maybe this is not a goal for me;
==> I don't know how to validate this; I did an HH review, and while doing it, I need to think about the opponent's ranges; I'm guessing that this is not the best goal to set either;
==> This happened - some not right after, but I didn't start a new session without reviewing the marked hands from the previous one;
==> *Done! Now, I'm starting with his book "The Grinders Manual". Later on, I will re-watch the FTGU course.
==> I just made one from Jan Philippi.
For historical purposes, here is the graph for this week.

Hey!
Preparing for the week, these are going to be my objectives:
Quick note: I will start a period of 3 strong weeks in terms of workload at work, which is why the volume tends to be lower. I also want to dedicate time to studying, nowadays with a 50/50 ratio. This week the goals are less, but meaningful ones.
For the poker colleagues out there who are reading this, good luck at the tables!
