July Recap

The month of July was a big month for me in terms of progression as a poker player. The game much clearer to me than it was a month ago. The funny thing is that the better you get, the more you realize how much you actually suck. There are certain facets of the game which I am looking forward to devoting meticulous study to, such as: practicing "hand ranges calculus", analyzing showdown hands with respect to the Fundamental Theorem of Poker, and also analyzing showdown hands in conjunction with my EV/ pot equity by street. I also want to devote a serious amount of time to situational factors which influence "hand range calculus" such as position, board texture, betting patterns, image, and bet sizing. For those who are unaware, "hand range calculus" as defined by 2+2 poster LearnedfromTV refers to the "acknowledgment that poker is actually a game of incomplete information, and attempts to define best actions in terms of maximizing expectation versus the range of possible hands your opponent could have, in light of the range of hands it is likely he thinks you have."
