Results log

I kept a log of my Poker results on a spreadsheet for every time I played.  It shows that I had gotten up to over $1700 in profit playing Poker in my off hours before losing all but $185 of it.

Looking back on my notes I see that I make a lot of my No Limit Hold'em profits by raising pre-flop and betting out at the flop, taking the small pots more often than not.  I also see that the biggest consistent leak in my game is from losing my stack with just one pair - usually middle pocket pairs like 88 through JJ.  I can attribute $800 in losses just in the last week to overplaying pocket pairs.  If I can learn to keep those pots small or simply fold them in response to large raises I might be able to keep some of my profits.
