If you want to build a successful poker career, you need to conduct a competent and constant analysis of your game. There are three proven and effective ways you can do it.
Record keeping
Keeping a record of tables, the duration and type of play, as well as the size of the bets is one of the main tasks that will help you achieve success. The notes help to significantly simplify everything and bring your thoughts to two conclusions:
- If I take the pot regularly and often, then I am an experienced poker player;
- I often fail, which means I belong to the fish.
Poker is a complex and often unpredictable game. One poker player said that after he began to monitor the game and the actions of opponents, the effectiveness of the game increased.
At first, he played at 8 tables simultaneously, which made it difficult to observe each opponent. In this regard, the player began to play at 2-3 tables and observe the actions of his opponents more. It doesn't matter if you play online or offline poker, studying your opponents is one of the most important tools for a successful game. By studying his opponents, the player was able to improve his results and increase his winnings.
It really helps in the game, but it's still not worth hoping for 100 % success, relying only on this. Poker comes in many variations, so be careful with your conclusions.
Your task is to learn how to change actions in time and correctly, as well as adapt to different game formats.
