Week Seven Wrapup
In short: I'm starting to get concerned.
I shouldn't be, I know: PokerTracker still has me at about 1.5BB/hr (per table), so theoretically I should be making $27/hr when I'm playing three tables of $3/$6. But I'm not seeing that. The total this week was +$273, and I'm pretty sure I played for more than ten hours. (I count about 28, actually, not counting tournaments.)
Nonetheless, I'm not making anything close to the $500/week I wanted to make when I started this whole project. I did blow that number out of the water the first week, but since then I've only come close once, and I've had as many down weeks as up weeks.
One of the things that shows up, though, is my tournament play: I only managed the money once out of eight or nine tournaments, and that was a paltry 65¢ profit on a $5 tournament. I probably shouldn't be discouraged by this but I really want another big tournament score like I had three of in January, and, heck, like the final-table I had just last week.
I'd like someone to point me toward a guide to using PokerTracker to evaluate one's own play. I haven't found this, although I've found a reference or two to using it to keep tabs on your opponents. I'm not a perfect player; I need a way to determine what mistakes I am making.
