tilt aware

welcome back

so my latest fad is z00m. conventional wisdom indicates that a reasonable starting sample size is 100,000 hands, so this might take a while. On the other hand I might never get there before something else grabs my attention. or before I drop enough buy-ins to convince me it was a bad idea. hopefully, I can get there. one reason I want to get there, is to see if I can get a handle on how swingy it is.
I would like to be able to say that I'm on a "standard" swing at the moment. I'm not. I went on tilt. Full blown motherfucking monkey rage tilt. Cost me 4 buy-ins. Kind of realised I was on that path but as the realization was dawning, the red mist was descending. Lesson learned. Again.
put a bit of a dent in my bb/100 stats. doesn't actually look that bad, but knowing why it looks like that, fucking horrifies me. Putting it in black & white as a constant reminder whilst I z00m.

10,259 hands played @ -4.64 bb/100

welcome back

finally. Actually "enjoyed" my last session. Ran at +8 bb/100. No great shakes, it is microstakes. Still, it was the manner in which I played. I actually played "properly" and did not stack off with some redic draw or painfully wrong assumption about the villains hand. I'm actually looking forward to my next session. Do I have my "mojo" back ? Prettty sure I'll only find that out when I run into some -ve variance, but as long as I continue to play well, I think I can hack it. Time will tell.

Oh, welcome back James.
