Time for another Downswing- September 18th Update

September 18th the day started off more of a run-bad and variance stricken period where I was unable to win a single pot over 50bb.

Nearing 2/3 of the way through the day I started playing very poorly being much too overly aggressive with marginal holdings and spewing a ton of buy ins to fish and other regs.

Nonetheless I think it is very important for oneself to keep in mind "Where the Money is Coming From" and how some of the very marginal spots may not exactly be the most profitable in the long run. I also think it is quite beneficial to sacrifice some ''marginal ev spots'' as the cost of having a lower variance game overall.

Anytime when volume is a high priority, having high variance can usually result in shaky play and confusing ranges to oneself. Undoubtedly this itself can create excessive mental strain and tilt that is detrimental to my overall game;

Simply put. Spending too much energy chasing the pennies, instead of pitching a large net for the gold.

Hopefully today will be much better off~

  1. hey danny. as a fellow canadian player aiming for 500k-1m vpps in 2014, was wondering what ~ how many vpp/hand you get at 100nl 9max zoom. Also since poker is your occupation do you claim taxes for all your winnings? just wondering if i need to claim poker earnings or not if i do it full time.

  2. VPP/hand wise it's anywhere between 0.19-0.29 depending on how many players. The 9 max zoom games very frequently become short-handed during the evenings.
