41k already? God 40k is my months goal..you are a machine

[MyTurn2Raise]

my graph is so similar to yours 1p0kerboy that it is scary

luckily, you play mostly days and I play late, so we haven't crossed much at all.

We have crossed paths many times in the tables, 1pokerboy, and although it is at the tight/straightforward side, I highly respect your game.

Your graph is definitely very swingy, but do you consider the possibility that playing ultra-long sessions can affect your poker judgment just slightly (and make your play kind of auto-pilot)? I have also noticed that you occasionally tend to stay in the tables even when everybody remaining are nits. I find a very frequent table-hopping strategy (at the expense of building a giant stack), looking for the loosest tables and sitting out if everybody is tight, effective.

Just change gears better and dominate those nits.

Playing long hours is fine when you're winning. The secret is being able to quit when you're losing and not chase- I've had lots of experiences where I do bounce back and turn a profit or cut a loss, but lots of experience where I just make the losing worse. It's hard to treat it as one long session and just take your loss if you're not playing well.

Most recent session...Its nice to have a winning day this month for once...

[1p0kerboy]

He played this perfectly.
Sigh. 40,000+ bad run continues because of stuff like this.
