How does the spreadsheet autorecord?

I hate seeing all those pink boxes. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

try over here

It would be a shame to hijack a thread about ditching recorkeeping with a discussion on how to keep records.

That being said, I still think it's negligent to give up on statistics while expecting to improve or even maintain a level of performance in poker.

This is simply wrong, IMHO.

If it bothers you to look at ROI/ITM and such, don't do it.

Right, I have a problem, the first step is admitting that I have this problem. If I could simply not look at my spreadsheet, then there would be no problem.

Now that the AM sheet will autorecord, I don't even have to watch all those pink boxes pop up.

This would help...but not be sufficient for me to stop looking at my spreadsheet.

Yugo, if you're going to quit looking at your stats, fine. It's probably +$EV (at least in the short term) from the psychological factors. Just don't give up keeping them as I don't doubt you'll want them for something someday.

I appreciate your concern I suppose. However, as I said before, I will keep my HHs. These HHs *do* contain my results.

Will you keep us updated on how much your ROI has improved by not keeping track of your results?

hm.. i'm completely the opposite. Poketracker saved my sanity.

with all the loses my new acct was accumlating, plus 2 batches of 18 OTM, i was going in a downward spiral.

my combined itm dropped to below 35%, my roi below 10% since i started 6 tabling.

then i decided to breakup the stats, and see what my old and new acct were individually doing.

my old acct still 40% itm and 25% roi.

my new acct was 18% itm, and -50% roi [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

but yeah, i'm going to stop looking at itm and roi on a daily basis. i'm probably just going to import hh on a weekly basis.

hm.. or should i just write down how much $ i have in my acct at 11:59pm every Sat? and use that as my comparison?

(and no, i havent read everything in this long ass thread. and subthreads with all those links. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Spreadsheets are for the weak. I've got the plan that will get your game from -ROI to amazing in no time.

First, you get a life-size cardboard cutout of some hot naked chick (or naked dude, if that's what floats your boat...cause I know it is). Then, you get a life size model of some clothes and cut it into pieces and stick it onto her so that she's now clothed.

Now, everytime you win a SNG you peel a section! Before you know it, you'll be a monster AND you'll have a life-size naked chick (or dude) in your room.

Honestly, what will inspire you to play better. Typing a 1 on your computer or taking some chick's clothes off?

After a few months of this, you'll have enough money to hire a real naked chick and you can peel off her clothes every time you win a SNG.

P.S. I'm not gonna lie. I may have stolen this idea from some famouse movie.

Many of us were able to win at omaha and o/8 without keeping stats. When PTOmaha came out it didn't have any type of profound effect except it confirmed you could win a hell of a lot more BB/100 in omaha and o/8 than at holdem at the same limits.
