Re: Turning a New Leaf
oh yugo. what has become of you? please dont get disgruntled with your results. results in poker are meaningless, you know this. you are a super intelligent person, and you know that to take poker seriously, you must keep records.
maybe.. a week off or so from your statistics will make you feel better, but you know you are a winning player. you make winning decisions, and put yourself in winning situations. ive looked at your hhs, ive talked to you about strategy, and i KNOW you are a winning player. maybe all you need is a break. take a few days off. fly to dallas, play 1-2 NL with a bunch of idiots, (me included), make bank, and head home happy feeling refreshed and ready to go at the sngs again [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] holla |

Dude, I said I was chuckin' the spreadsheet.....not quitting poker, [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
I will not pretend that I'll *never* compute statistics on my results again. But I need to experience what not having them is like. Someone recently mentioned this quote to me.....I think it's fitting: "He who will not apply new remedies must expect old evils." -Francis Bacon Yugoslav |

Re: Turning a New Leaf
I have been playing sngs for a large part of a year now, and never ever have bothered to keep stats. I tried for a week or two to input my results into PT, but staring at my data just turned my focus away from where it was really important:my game. I honestly feel that this whole forum is way too obsesed with stats like ROI and not enough at getting better at the game you play.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree that many people are overly obsessed about short term stats and place too much emphasis on their ROI over 100 SNGs only, etc. But I feel you are doing yourself a great diservice by not keeping stats. In many ways it is tantamime to only looking at one of your holecards when more information is readily available to you. In a game of incomplete information there is no reason to handicap yourself on a consistent basis...on or off thet table. |

what edge to these statistics provide? [/ QUOTE ] agreed...not much. I know I am a winning player when my BR increases gradually over time. I keep notes on other players on PS (dont see enough repeatedly to make this worthwhile even). How can place distribution help you unless you are a rank and file newbie? Why do I keep stats? Its fun...and self affirming. Like I said before, I dont need to prove anything to myself or others re: ROI...I just look at the cashier window. (ahh sh\t...well, Ive got 918 fpps and 1000 in play money, oh well, u get the picture) |

Re: Turning a New Leaf
people definitely put way too much emphasis on short term statistics. WAY too much. i finally got thru my first 101 215s, with an roi at 23.4% and an itm at 40.6%. does this mean that i should jump up and start 12 tabling them? hell no. it doesnt even mean i can beat them. all it means is i was running well for a day and made some money. does it give me hope? of course it does, but im not gonna write home about it. holla
