Turning a New Leaf

[SuitedSixes]

Good decision, young Peter. This will help you out a bunch.

As long as we're turning over new leaves, I'm going to post a bet I just made with Irie as a desire to concentrate on getting ITM more:

I'm going to make it my goal to get 38% ITM a night and see where that gets me for the week. If I come up short of 38% for the week, I'm going to go to the Candy Store (the local Christie's equivalent), order a Diet Coke (I hate that [censored]) and give the hottest girl there $20 but decline a dance telling her that she reminds me too much of my little sister (I don't have a sister), and walk out once my drink is gone.

This sounds +tiltEV but -IRSEV. Do you see why?

So Yugo is going to stop playing poker seriously...I have a prediction: Yugo will in one (1) weeks time stop posting in the stt forum leaving all of the humor to suited, skipper, myself, and occasionally irie (when he is not to busy being philosophical) and dali (when he is not too busy berating various wpt regulars). As for yugo: he will begin posting exclusively in the oot and will turn The Salt Cracker into a meaningful poster in a way that is very similar to how Luke Skywalker turns Darth Vader back over to the good side of the force. The key exception of course is that Yugo and TSC are in fact gay lovers from a former life instead of father and son from a galaxy far far away....... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

No, it's cool. I will have my HHs and cashout record from the poker sites I play on.

People can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that.

As a relative newbie to SnGs, I thought I was the only one that felt this way.

First, I get upset because I'm ITM > 40%, but can't get enought 1st. Then, I get 1sts, but now my ROI isn't high enough. An entire night of mostly OOTM tourneys just creates incredible tilt, even when I'm all-in with the best hand over and over again.

However, I couldn't stand not tracking my stats at least somehow, and I didn't want to manually enter a ton of tournaments each month.

My solution is to autoload into PT and then at the end of each month (or a longer period, I haven't decided), just autoload them into the AM spreadsheet. That way I only get bummed periodically.

Maybe eventually, I can kick the whole ss, but this is my version of "The Patch."

So very true.

Looking at 15 "pink" out of the money finishes on the spreadsheet in a row is so depressing and most likely Tilt causing.

I will be looking at my stats less and less also.
