The Find & Fix Challenge

Find a mistake you made 1 year ago, that you still often make, and work for 1 week to finally fix it.

This simple process will help you:

  • Spot the costly and recurring leaks that hold you back.
  • Build better habits at the tables.
  • See real improvement in just one week.

 

The How

Dive into your poker database from 1 year ago, and review your biggest losing hands until you find THE MISTAKE. This is a mistake that you know you still make today, and fixing it, will move the needle greatly on your journey.

Skip unimportant mistakes -or- ones that you’ve already fixed.

Focus all your study and practice effort on THE MISTAKE for 1 week.

In the video above, I review a hand where I made two mistakes:

  1. Failing to barrel bluff after check-raising.
  2. Continuing a bluff when the turn card helps them (and not you).

Find 2-3 pieces of training materials to study and practice. Take notes in your poker journal.

Review 12 hands/day of the same situation. Review hands where you repeated the mistake AND hands where you made the better play. You can reinforce proper strategies from both.

Practice the strategies you’re learning daily for at least 1 on 1-2 tables. Don’t overwhelm yourself; the goal is to play to learn, not to earn right now. Tag key hands for review.

If you’re not involved in a hand, noodle on the strategies you’re practicing; “Would I make the play here?”

After 1 week, assess your progress. Repeat or find new mistake.
