Thanks for the advice and encouragement everyone, I want to try to keep it interesting. If I can make it half as good as Ger"s, then I"ll be happy.

The Poker Mindset - Essential Attitudes for Poker Success

I will try to use the PHA boards on here. The blonde board is a bit daunting cos that"s where all the cool kids play . Think I need to know what a 3-bet is before I tackle that!

Anyway that"s enough boring poker. What about this fecker...



If you look closely I"m stood on the stand just underneath the "Samsung" logo, waving at the camera!

With regard to the 3D TV I am probs a bit late but if not go to www.electricaldiscountuk.co.uk this is my website, for really good deals. Also PM me if you want any info.

Yes, just a tad late for me Mike but handy to log the info.

To be honest, when I get an idea in my head like this - getting a new telly - I get all impatient and have to have it there & then.

I settled on the Samsung 46C7000 in the end, with Samsung BD-C5900 blu-ray player (not in stock - should get it next week). Came with 2 pairs of specs. Also needed a couple of top spec HDMI cables and a stand. They also included Shrek 3D. I managed to haggle a little bit off to convince myself I was still of sound mind but still stumped up £1,720.

Tell me how much you could have saved me Mike!

I did pay on my cashback credit card to the benefit of £17.20 and I beat the VAT increase to save another £40 odd quid.

To think I had no thought to buy a new telly until yesterday Impulse buying ftw.

So.

Back to the boring poker.

My 2011 poker will start tomorrow with the first events of the new blonde league on Sky and the APAT mini-league on Betfair.

I want to record my play or rather the results of it. Has anyone got a spreadsheet they could send me that would do the job? Failing that, what info should I a) be recording and b) be deriving/calculating?

[Swinebag]

given that you are a low volume player (i think!!), then you really need to just record profit/loss. ROI is a pretty meaningless figure unless you play 1000s of tourneys. I use a very simple spreadsheet and simply have columns for tourney name or site, stake, return (lol!!) and a running profit/loss. I also record runners and finishing position but this has been pretty useless info to record.

Sorry to tell you this Jack but I would have saved you nearly £400, my price for the same package is £1339, but I am sure you"ll make that back at the tables in no time

Try THIS

+1 on this recommendation

This serves the purpose of recording anything you"re likely to need - it also can be exported as a csv, so if you ever want to manipulate the data you"ll have it ready for a spreadsheet.

I would guess I"d play between 200 and 500 tournaments in the year, so no, not vast amounts. During the recent blonde league I was playing around 8 each night as the format encouraged it.

Would I be wrong to assume that ROI is just your profit expressed as a percentage of your buy-ins?
