Default the official \"Baronzeus attempts to win at poker\" thread

i havent won at poker in a long time. i mean a long time. 26K hands of 0.00BB/100 now. here's the stats




what's most worrisome is that my went to showdown is up 2 points and my won& shwodwon is only down 1 point. so my showdown numbers are better than normal...yet i'm not winning. this is how i usually judge how good/bad im running.

anyone who knows about statistics please tell me that it's possible im running bad based on these stats...

check out my 30/60 game. 14K hands in this time period (almost 2.5 weeks) -2BB/100. im awesome.


anyhow im gonna update this thread daily with a status of how many hands i played and how bad/good i did. hopefully things will turn around soon.

My most recent hands at 75/150+ over a similar hand period:




All hands played online so far in December:




I post images to nudge you ([img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]) AND likewise remind you that things can turn around. I had a long rut for awhile but now things are showing signs of turning around, hang in there.

Happy holidays!

hey schneids,

thanks for the uplifting (?) graphs. im still gonna spend a lot of time working on my game (after exams of course! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) but at least this shows me that there's some hope for a fish like me.

i don't know how you guys deal with the -20K days. i had a -22K day the other day and it was damn near the worst thing thats ever happened to me.

thats why i dropped limits...im recently coming back to 1/2+ but i have just under like 2k hands total at those limits ... my plan is to immediately drop if the loss amounts increase. i think its a good plan and i will no religiously follow MoM via JAsucker's advice.

those 20k days are a thing of the past for me.

Hit a big wall since my first post in the thread. I guess regression towards the mean does happen. My new December to date totals online:



Did I ever mention this is my favorite forum?

P.S. from hand 876 to 1344 this month I ran suuuuuper bad, way worse than any 468 hand stretch in my life I think. I'm pretty confident though that the next 468 hand stretch HAS to improve because I'm due.
