Re: Does anybody keep a poker journal?
In terms of hands I play, I look through and take notes in PT. I haven't taken notes in my notebook about certain hands yet, but probably should.

Re: Does anybody keep a poker journal?
How about different sets/formats of journals for online vs B&M play? Online, it's easy to dump specific hand info into PT or other tool, but live it's a different story.
I've seen a couple of people taking notes at the table, but I don't know what kind of info they are tracking. What kind of info would you deem important? Perhaps # of hands entered vs hands dealt, card info, reads on players? Sounds like a lot on info to track live. You could get carpal tunnel or something in a long session. |

It's mostly just cuss words and numerous threatening references to the U.N.

Re: Does anybody keep a poker journal?
I keep mine on a WORD program in my computer. Unfortunately, after another bad decision that cost me a ton of chips, I threw the entire system out the window last week. My current journal consists of "When I save up $5 I'm gonna play a SNG and start building my bankroll".

Re: Does anybody keep a poker journal?
I just started one online two weeks ago. It's been amazingly good for me so far.

Re: Does anybody keep a poker journal?
Yes, just a basic old-fashioned paper notebook with a listing of tournaments I have played in, what type: NLHE, Limit HE, etc. and what place I finished and how much $$ I won (or left blank = 0), and then when I get the chance to play live, which is almost never since I am in college, an entry for what limit I played and how much I bought in for, and how much I cashed out with. I havent't kept track of my online play in the same manner, however, as it is easy to see my progress without a notebook. Hope this helps. kat

Re: Does anybody keep a poker journal?
Yes I do and right now Im furious. This is the first time ever I start to suspect that someone has beaten the systems. I hardly nevre complain about lost tables, pots etc etc. Now I really need backup though to calm my nerves. As I said, I have a poker journal. This is a fact. I have ended in 4th place on the last 13 tables (sit&go 10 seated).
Im a very tight player, I almost never take chances unless I have about an 80/20 to win after the flop. Out of those 13 I have lost 13 on the river. 7 of them on turn/river, ment they had to get 2 cards. 1. 4 of them, sorry 5 (just lost another one with TTT after the flop. He got clubs on turn and river). Anyway 5 sets beaten by flush. (2 turn/river) 2. 4 of them was straight beaten by flush. (2 turn/river) 3. 1 straight beaten by full house. 4. 1 straight beaten by FOK. (turn/river) 5. 2 flushes beaten by FOK. (1 turn/river) 6. 1 full house beaten by FOK. 7. 1 full house beaten by straight flush. (turn/river) I have studied economics for 4½ years and I know statistics. The odds that 14 tables in a row ends on 4th place in a way like this cant be calculated with a normal calculator. There are not enough ZERO:s. I dont need anyone to feel sorry for me. I need to hear though if someone have experienced something similar? And how come that Im receiving money ate 8/10 live tables when I dont on the net? As Im living in a rather small town the livetables are rare. Ola |
Re: Does anybody keep a poker journal?
As I only play online, I use PT as my journal. I make entries in the "session notes" box. It's great to have your notes in the same place as all the statistics.
