Memory training update
Well its been a rollercoaster of a week since my last update. Work has taken priority for me, a lot more billable hours than in the beginning of the month and as such, the training has been a lot slower than originally started.
I had a pretty spectacular revelation over this past week though. Last Thursday Bennett had said it would only take about an hour to learn 60 of the Oscar best pictures, my response to him was something like "that's not going to happen". Well with all the techniques that we've been given, in less than an hour, I had the majority memorized. That said, as I continue to work at these new learning techniques, it gets easier and easier. I see the potential in everyday life, and I really would like to attempt some university courses to see how much I'd improve there from the last time.
That said, I need more time, between Kate and Lisa, poker, work, and sheer laziness, I need a couple more hours in my days that I can just dedicate to studying. I've played a lot less poker in the last month, spending more time working on Memory and studying the techniques as it applies to poker.
The few times I have played, I'm much more on my game. Understanding more inflection points and having more knowledge to avoid getting into spots I can't get out of.
I played the Micros Destiny tournament today and decided to apply the use of VPIP to most of the tournament, I then compared my numbers to Holdem manager at every break. I am happy to say, that my numbers for 7 players were within 2 hands of each one. My guess there is I just missed them playing a hand, or I'm calculating walks in when I shouldn't. Either way, being that far off is still more information than anyone would have at a live table.
I am learning so much, and am very eager to work with Bennett on applying a whole lot more poker math to his techniques so that I can have all that info at my beck and call!
This week, well, reviewing everything I've learned, as well as being able to track 9 players at the live table. that with some ranking of all 91 available hands and some calling charts, I'll be a math machine in a week or so.
Take care all, and big thanks to Bennett!
