Y...This is the best post I've read in a long time. You nailed it right on the head with "poker ain't going nowehere" and about paying attention to how profitable you are in short games. I've stopped trying to get in "just a couple of hands" while the kids are in the tub or instead of doing some household chore. I thought that playing short sessions was counterproductive, and then I started tracking my session length and found out my most profitable sessions are under an hour and a half, so now I keep it short. Great post, right on the money!Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921703006975332011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938736.post-1138928337908506742006-02-02T16:58:00.000-08:002006-02-02T16:58:00.000-08:00Brilliant, although #6 is painful to read as it re...Brilliant, although #6 is painful to read as it reminds me of my own -$1600 $30/60 session (or you're describing me).<BR/><BR/>I think most players (or most of us) look at big swings and don't sweat the small leaks as you've described. The small leaks have to be a significant chunk of most solid players' problem or improvement gap, I would guess.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10777389833765857820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938736.post-1138836008808469942006-02-01T15:20:00.000-08:002006-02-01T15:20:00.000-08:00I am also a big fan of "lemur", both in describing...I am also a big fan of "lemur", both in describing others and myself.
