Yes, that is a leak for me as well. I actually like Curtain's method of usually playing 32 or 24 games a day instead.

I like to take breaks when Im running and/or playing bad too, but I dont like to take a night or a complete day off. The only way to try to break the variance is to keep grinding.

Now, if you aren't mentally prepared to play then taking a day off is for the best.

I've never experienced something like this. My bankroll is well below what it should be now, yet I'm still playing.

1437 hands played.

9% hands won.

I simply don't believe this.

... which begs the question:

If Bigwig and Freemoney had a love-child, would it be one of those mentally handicapped people that could beat the $109's?

I normally judge my day by showdown percentage. If the average of % showdowns won between both accounts comes to < 65% I am losing big. From 65-70 breaking even. 70-75 winning. 75+ winning huge. Today I played 3k hands and averaged 65% showdowns won and lost 3 buyins. 11.5% hands won between both accounts.

Just curious ... what is your Went to Showdown %? Winning over 70% of your showdowns seems insanely high to me.

Had the same thought when I read that. If I were to have 70% showdown wins I would have to fold a lot of winning hands/only push with great hands. I would feel the same way about 60% in fact.
