I need some advice

Ok...first off, feel free to flame away, as this post goes totally aganist what logic tells me.....I just dont understand what it going on. Anyways, for the last week or so, I have been waking up around noon, playing somewhere between 10 and 20 sngs and EVERY day I have been up somewhere between 5 and 10 buyins. After playing for a few hours, I would take a break, come back and procede to lose a little more than a won earlier. To my knowledge, I have been playing the same at all times. So, I am going to play my 10-20 games when I wake up and take my 5-10 buyins and be happy. It only makes sense to me that the more I play, the more I will win, but I am starting to think this may not be the case, as people who play in the day my play very different from people at night. Today I woke up, played 12 games and was up 5 buyins. I will be fine accepting this if I can make 5 buyins a day, every day, but it just amazes me that I can play for a little while in the morning, 7 days in a row, then lose what I won later that night. Does anyone ever had a similar problem to this? OK...let the flaming begin.

Nah...I am still skinny. I am getting a little fatter though. I think jogging about a mile a day will take care of that though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I believe I have this problem under control, sort of, but my typical pattern is more like lose first and then win later. I'm pretty sure it had to do with tilt and lack of focus for me. Could be different players at different times or variance for you though.

Sample size blah blah coincidence blah.

Do you find that the games are objectively tougher during the night? Or do you just feel that the kinds of games during the day are easier for your style of play? Do you notice any difference in the kinds of players that play during the day versus the ones at night? Curious.

Well, people at nigth call my allins more and my AK or 32 usually loses. I dont really know what else to say becuase they call more. I would think this would be a good thing, but it isnt. Zero fold equity is bad for me.

You should talk to TheUsher...he's convinced that the after night games (like very late night or dead times at Party) are as profitable or moreso b/c of the FE there is. The idea being there are tighter players but they allow you to exploit their 'mistakes' for the same amount of $$.

Yeah this is what I was figuring. The games should be easier at night. Adjusting to them isn't always easy though. I think you should stick it out and get a better feel for adjusting to games with lower fold equity. It's definitely a good thing when you learn how to use it. Your maximum potential ROI is likely to be much higher at night, don't shy away from it.

Before I quit my job, I would usually get off work around midnight and play til 6 AM or so...When I played that late at night, I was usually VERY tired and didnt pay attention at all. During the times where I played a lot during the late night, midnight - 6 am, I had 20% roi over the 500 or so games while i had the real job. I guess I am just trying to get back to the point of having a "good" roi. If I have to play much less to get it, so be it.

From my limited railbirding of the 215s I have to say that you are the most aggressive player (make some loose calls also) and in my opinion the best (vs. the other top players at least). I saw ComeOnPhish push into you on the bubble one time at level 6 (4 handed) when you both had T1800 and you called with 22 in the BB. Plays like that seem to make players hesitant to push into you, hence increasing your results versus the regulars. More regulars are playing during the day and more randoms are playing during the night. The randoms won't remember your loose standards and won't be scared. This is why these plays are probably more -EV at night.
