Default Why can\'t I win on weekends?

I've been playing the $10+1 at Party for the last month and a half. I'm yet to show a profit on a weekend. They've been absolutely terrible to me.

I have a 3% ROI on weekdays (which is far from good, I know), and my ROI on weekends is -17%. There's obviously something in my play that is producing this, I just can't put my finger on it. I went through HH after HH and I just don't see any differences in my play.

There's obviously a lot more fish on weekends, so that should account for an increased variance, but not as much as to have such an impact on my results.

What do you think I should look for in my play to find the reason for such results?

OK. Reach down. Grab your nut sack. Are there 2 balls in there?

How about not playing weekends? It is SO in your head that you can't win on weekends that you won't.

It is possible that your set of weekend games is statistically insignificant and you could be running bad during the weekends. POSSIBLE.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm gonna do, but there must be something I'm doing that's not helping me out, and I wouldn't mind figuring out what the hell is it.

This is hillarious.

But as for the op, you need to adjust to your table. You might have to penalize/dissuade them from chasing more by pushing instead of betting pot or something like this. Also I think you can tighten up some as well as everybody else is more likely to bust each other and you can just fold into the money. (obviuosly not literally but you git the point)
