Grinding, Education Style

If I'm going to take this seriously, I think I need to treat it more like a school course.  That means assignments, homework, and tests.  To that end, I have now resolved to do something poker-related every day.  This could be playing, reading, watching TV or videos - anything where I can at the least learn by observation.

In order to keep track of my progress, I am going to use this blog.  I will make an entry if not every day, then every couple of days, cataloging what I did, how long I did it for, and anything I learned in the process.  From there, I hope to formulate plans that will further this education; things like specific strategies to try out,  ways to test myself, etc.

I've found that I often come up with ideas or come to realize general poker strategy when I'm not really trying to do so.  I've had such mini-epiphanies while watching WSOP or HPT coverage, or reading an article that has nothing to do with strategy.  I'm banking on that continuing.  I also need to move into some more specific strategy sessions.  The books haven't done it for me so far (though I have yet to read the applicable parts of Super/System), so I might have to pony up for some training software.

I will also use this space to track my "Race to 10k" progress (update every time I play in any form), as well as my wins and losses when I play live.  I'll also note how far along I've come in my Bracelet Hunting goal.
