A handful of poker tactics will astonish you with their ease. This is 1 of them. Note your outcomes, every time you wager.
Cult of Texas Holdem Psalm #4:
You have to record your wins and thy loses; for it is the sum total of all a mans achievements which generate his or her bottom line.
How detailed is your decision. I tend to consider that hourly info and that kind of intimate detail is wasted. Basically figure out how far in front you are and what amount (if any) you have taken out. Naturally, if you are beaten, record that too, regardless of how much it it might pain you.
Don’t omit to write down what style of game you’re gambling on, if that’s important to you. (In my experience, most gamblers stick to what they understand and don’t experiment. If all you record is winnings, down and what you’ve taken out, you’re light years ahead of almost all players out there!)
Give yourself achievable goals, like a ‘dream’ target (new auto, vacation or anything else). When you take out, add the money taken out to your dream tally. The more successful you are, the nearer that goal will be!
