Actually . . . no [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. Well, I'll give you the more minor change -- I try to go to showdown less. I was actually a little above 40% for awhile.

I don't recall the exact #s but at 10/20 I'm over 3BB/100 over the last 30k hands or so. Don't [censored] with my blinds, bitch.

Hey, I saw that! Jerkwad.

Yeah, could be a sample size glitch, absolutely. Especially given that my SD is so high (like, 20).

Even so, at a win rate of 3.5BB/100 we're talking, purely statistically, of a 95% chance my win rate is over 1.5BB/100, and an 80% chance my win rate is over 2.5BB/100. Admittedly, relative to the experience of others this seems like a high win rate, but I have other, non-statistical reasons for thinking that my win rate should be higher at 10/20 than it was previously (~2BB/100) given some big changes I made to my game.

In other words, you may immediately commence sucking it.

I just wanted to note that running well tends to make one feel like a brilliant player. Having ran well for about a week and a half, and now running terrible for 2 days, it's amazing how now I feel outclassed while previously I felt like I was playing with my opponent's cards face up.

You think??
I've gone from being the most amazing player on the planet to the most clueless and stupid Laggy fish and back and forth over and over again and again so many times it's not even funny.


no matter how many times I tell myself "Well..I'm not THAT freaking good...I'm not going to run at 6BB/100 forever" I can't seem to completely convince myself.

same goes for how many times I say "Well..I know I don't suck THAT bad. I'm not going to run at -3BB/100 and have my AA get clobbered by 92o forever" where I am not ever able to fuly convince myself.


In general...I know that I am a reasonably competent, albeit laggish, winning player.
But the highs and the lows ALWAYS leave that little thought somewhere in the back of my head that my ability IS related to my recent short-term results.

Ok enough already. We will accept your $3 rake Party, then your $4 rake increase, and so on...

yup. I completely left out my point - which is that if I were to run good for 30k hands i'd feel like I was mega-awesome too. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Update:

Party raises the rake. I immediately go on a 150BB downswing over ~1000 hands.

Coincidence?

I think so.

Exactly. Don't spoil my buzz, man. You're absolutely right, when I run good I feel like a genius, when I run bad I feel like a LAGgy idiot. And this run, while it's had some skips in it (including one day where I lost twice as much as I ever had previously), has been pretty free of 50BB+ slides. So I feel like a genius. At the moment . . .

Care to post your stats for this group of hands so the rest of us seeking to emulate your results can try to discern what changes might help us to do so?

Long time lurker, first time caller.

It seems like the only solution is for all 2ers to use their worthless non-rakeback original Party accounts to sit out on 4 tables at once while multi-tabling on Empire and Euro as normal. If everyone did it I'm sure we could turn Party into 5-max. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]

wow dude that actually might work

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd help out with this and I don't even play 6-max.
