Keeping Poker Records
Record keeping need not be as tiresome as it sounds, nowadays there's no necessity to manually write down your records, you can help organise them into meaningful data by using third party poker software such as Poker Tracker and Poker Office, or by accessing a poker statistics website such as Poker Dominator or Poker Charts, all it takes is a few minutes per session and it can be done while you are playing poker. The benefits are huge because the average low/medium stakes online poker player either does'nt bother keeping records or does'nt fully understand how or what to record.
There are plenty of benefits that come with keeping an accurate set of records; they will tell you which cardroom you have made the most from by showing how much has been made or lost at each site, if you are a losing player they will show how much it's costing you to get real money experience. The records will teach you about your own game; what times of the day you play best, which type of poker game is your most profitable, which opponents do you win from the most, how much you are making per hour; the record keeping software available is capable of garnishing you with a wealth of useful information that can only make you a stronger player, if understood properly.
Record keeping not only helps you identify leaks in your own game, it also highlights the weaknesses of your opponents, allowing you to become good at manipulating your poker opponents because you already know how they will most likely react to many different situations. It's well worth looking into what 3rd party poker software can do to help improve your game, or at very least so you understand what information your opponents may be using against you.
