Poker Playing Calendar Part2
5. Is it Friday? Besides being the last day of the traditional workweek, Fridays are good for poker players because a lot of people get their paychecks on Friday.
6. What time of day is it? Games played during the mornings and afternoons tend to be full of older, more conservative players, who have a lot of playing experience. The pots at those times will be smaller than average, and you won't get paid off as well on your winning hands. Evening and late night players tend to be younger and a little looser, so there's a lot more action in those games. Your opponents at those times will be making more mistakes when they play against you.
7. How big is the jackpot? Is it double or triple jackpot night? If the jackpot is unusually large, then it might be worth your time to play, even if it's a time when you wouldn't ordinarily go. Some cardrooms double or even triple the jackpot (up to a certain amount) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays in an effort to increase business.
8. Is it tournament night? Originally, one of the main purposes of tournaments was to draw players to the cardroom, so they would fill the ring games as they were eliminated from the tournament. It still works. That's why there are more tournaments on a poker room's slow days than there are on the busy days.
9. Personal obligations. There's an old joke with the punch line: "On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, when I attend my Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, we play poker. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, when I attend my Gamblers Anonymous meetings, we sit around and drink." Whatever your personal obligations are during the week, don't forget them. Take them into consideration when deciding when to play.

Poker And Keeping Records Part3
4. How long did you play? This statistic is the actual time you spent at the table, in the game. Do not count that hour you went to lunch or all of your excessive short absences from the table. Make this entry in terms of quarter hours. If you can, narrow it down to tenths of an hour. The more accurate your records are, the more valid your results will be when you analyze them.
5. Calendar date. This one's always a number between 1 and 31 (some date from the first of the month to the thirty-first of the month). This will also be useful for later analysis.
6. Day of the week. M, T, W, R, F, S, U. R is for Thursday and U is for Sunday. As you'll see in the next chapter, this is a very important note to keep.
7. Time of day. Record the time that you started playing and the time that you quit playing. Keep this number separate from the total number of hours played in #4, above. They are very different statistics.
8. How much did you win or lose? Although this may be the bottom line number that you focus on after each playing session, it is by no means the only statistic of use to you.
9. Your win/loss converted into # of big bets. Experienced poker players talk about their wins and losses in terms of how many big bets they won or lost, because that's really the best way to communicate all of the relevant information. If someone tells you, "I won $200 playing poker the other night," he hasn't really told you as much as he could. You don't know if he was playing $l-$5 for two hours and was extremely lucky, or if he was playing $5-$ 10 for eight hours and won that $200 on just the last hand he played before leaving the game. Speaking in terms of big bets also makes it easier to compare how you're doing in different games at varying limits.
10. Hourly rate for this game. Divide your win or loss for this session by the number of hours you played. If you played eight hours and won $120, then your hourly rate would be a plus $ 15 per hour. If you were playing $3-$6 limit, this rate would convert to 2.5 big bets per hour.
11. Hourly rate for all games and totals. This calculation is the total of all the poker games you've played (regardless of the type of game or the limit) divided by the total number of hours you've played poker. You'll be mixing together all of your stud games with your hold 'em games, but, for the purposes of this statistic, it doesn't matter.
