If you play for fun, and you don't find statistics fun, don't maintain more than you need for tax purposes.

I enjoy figuring out how much I win. This can help to answer the following questions:

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Do I make more from poker than my day job?
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Should I move down in limits?
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] How much do I need to play at a higher limit to determine whether it is worth moving up?
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Do I win more in SNGs than ring games?
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] How much more do I win more when multi-tabling?
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] How much can I withdraw?
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Is it worth it to take advantage of a promotion that takes up time or locks up my bankroll?
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Have I improved in the last few months?

In addition, I think many players don't know how good streaks or bad streaks look from up close. Sometimes I don't notice that I have been running abnormally well.
