Hey EYP just out of interest how many hands have you actually played throughout this total? I know your results aren't what you want atm but I feel like you haven't played THAT many hands really (I could be wrong though).
Hi mate, hope you are well.
My volume is lower than of course I would like...
I am guessing 200k hands (some not tracked like Skypoker for example).
While we are at it I was looking through my accounts and got some other figures...
-$1355 = Losses at tables.
-$400 = Guess at expenses from bankroll (HM2, HH convertor, new mouse
)
+$2800 = Must be how much I got in RB and FDB's
Overall around + $1050.
This is PT4 graph I have....

(Doodie asked about EV - FWIW I am 700bb under EV ($320))
That graph tells it fairly well, I felt we really got hold of things at the 20k hand mark (even though all-in was killing me a bit) and since the 75k hand mark I think I have run really badly and that is recent and coaches/better players are agreeing with me a lot.
Talking about variance and heads-up etc...
It is kinda interesting this to me because I have got 3 blogs going and I get quite a few comments saying I should change formats.
I don't really get that (the more I think about it). I mean people tell me HU is or feels more swingy but I don't think I am complaining about it (or am I?). Yes I sometimes post some bad beats or whatever but usually it is to blow off steam/get sympathy/have fun. I mean I see a lot of other guys going bananas, threatening to quit, breaking things you name it but it generally is blowing over my head.
Please tell me if I am whining too much in here as I certainly don't mean to be like that and I would hate to give the impression that I am complaining.
I really like heads-up, it is actually much better for me in many ways so I actually cannot see me changing format at all.
Anyway I ramble...
I love variance. The person who understands it has a massive advantage over the one that doesn't (long term). Mainly people who don't get it make desperate changes to their game when they are losing unnecessarily (rather than get experts' opinions) and people who run well think they are the mutts nuts and so don't work on their game.
It's just that... well... variance doesn't love me!!!!
Btw... Last session came back and played few hours later and hit stop loss LDO.
Is this one played ok? I am sure it is but starting to question a lot lately and you guys hopefully will sort me...
