Default Re: Win rate

Since this is live play in a local casino(s), I think the other considerations are:

1. Are you winning from good players as well as bad? When you win from good players, is it because you played better cards or because you caused them to make mistakes? The cards even out in the eventual "long run," but the ability to cause solid players to make mistakes is one of the hallmarks of playing well.

2. Are you taking this money from the same group of, say, 40 people, or are you constantly facing a new lineup? If you are taking it from the locals and they haven't adapted to your style after six weeks of daily play, bravo, that's pretty good.

3. As Tex said, be prepared for variance. Unless you're playing against total passive boobs, you can expect to see some large swings and you will definitely experience some losing weeks.

Just my .02 cents...
