That's not so bad. Bad is when you have to rip them off the seat - which is why you shouldn't eat breakfast while naked - besides, who wants a testicle in their grapefruit.

Then stop sweating the money. You've been doing this long enough to know what to expect and shouldn't be obsessing about individual hands or sessions.

Shit happens. It's why we have bankrolls and play within RoR's we can emotionally and financially handle. Just make sure you can stomach the RoR of your super max

If I go somewhere to play, I'm not just going to quit early because I'm ahead and lock in a win. If I'm doing that, then why ever play again if I'm not willing to play more now (excluding reasons for heat or similar). Of course, it may be psychologically beneficial to book some wins or quit early when you're losing so you don't have a super big loss.

Of course, I've had plenty of sessions where in the first few minutes I'll be up 5+ max bets....then by the end of the session I'll be down 5 max bets. Or I'll start off in a deep hole, thinking it's "impossible" to climb out, then I'll end up with a nice win. Hell, it only takes a round or two to get way up or for the dealer to pull a 21 and you're way behind.

Take the losses and the wins in stride. Unfortunately that's easier said than done.

Went to Las Vegas for 4 days, returned home down $2200, next day went to a small casino in the middle of nowhere, played a lousy rules (Double 9-11, no DAS) deeply dealt game, won it back in just 90 minutes. It sure goes up and down!

Thanks Zee! I was going to respond to Freightman that he needs to get over his obsession with me, but I see you’ve beaten me to it.

Freightman is always looking at my personal data page too, so I can tell I’m on his mind all the time. I wish he’d just put me on ignore so he wouldn’t be so obsessed with me.

Freightman is the person who pointed out to this community that I had a lot of helpfuls. I thought I must being doing something right if this was happening. Since Freightman has become obsessed with me, I’ve noticed I’ve been getting more unhelpfuls lately. I expect most are coming from Freightman. They don’t bother me. The fact that people are using their votes on my posts shows I’m having an impact and people are reading them.

I’ve noticed APs struggle with accepting ideas that are different from mainstream AP orthodoxy. It seems like you have some experience with this too when it comes to playing rated.

You're a legend in your own mind.

The list of the 10 most recent visitors is alphabetical. If the same names are always there then the most likely explanation is that no one is visiting your page.

I know at least 10 people have visited my page since there are 10 names there. I found that surprising since I’ve only visited a couple pages. I agree it’s interesting seeing the scores from other people and seeing who’s interested in me. Freightman is definitely one of them.

I inquire on numerous pages, many times cause of a depth perception issue with keys. So, what's the big fucking deal. Must we have another debate on your irrelavence?

No let’s not debate this. You’re the one that told me I had all these helpfuls. This surprised you since I’d only been on this forum a short time. I wouldn’t have even known about this page if he hadn’t altered me to it.

One of your assertions was that he is repeatedly visiting your page. I'm saying that he's still on the list because the visits from others have stopped.
