oh ok. also someone (maybe you?) said something about DD playing pursuant to +sanityEV which is something ive been thinking alot about lately. ive tried it a few times - playing 15/30 or thereabouts where i'm pretty sure i'm at least playing a 2bb/100 edge and therefore avoiding alot of variance. i was actually talking to gehrig the other day about doing this. the games these days are ripe for the sickest swings - both short and long term - that anyone has ever seen and frankly it's slowing driving me to the brink of insanity. however, playing low gets really boring (at least for me) and i dont take it seriously and don't even play that well. does anyone have any tips on how to combat this? DD, how do you make it interesting for yourself?

Have you considered playing less? I mean 120k hands in two months - I would go insane. I'm at 2.80 for the last 155k hands at my main limits, 30/60 and 50/100, and I think the key to this result (besides running good) is never playing when I am not alert which leads to me being almost tilt free and very rarely getting sloppy. The downside is I don't play as much (less than 10k hands a month) and thus probably make a lot less than I could but after being close to burn out a year ago I was pretty much forced to choose health over money and I have no regrets over that now.
