I am getting better
So I have sucked it up, and am now willing to play 20 minutes of Party at a time if thats all I can get in. That gives me three or four days of play this week, when combined, is probaby over 2 hours. Overall I am up for the week, but I have more down sessions than up sessions. Is poker like trading, where you are looking for a few big wins to make your play profitable?
Mathmatically, if you looking at all hands you voluntarily contribute money to the pot as played hands, pots where you win or chop as won hands, and the difference as lost hands, then you are going to have more lost hands than won hands. So with a session time of one hand, you are going to loose more sessions than win. As the session length increases, for a profitable player, more sessions will be won than lost.
Since my sessions are so short right now, it is likely that I will probably loose more sessions than win, but combining sessions into a larger block of time, I should be winning in general, unless I still suck. And I won’t know if I am a profitable .50/1 limit player until I have played enough to see that I am making money or still loosing money.
Ok, my misplay for the night last night, but again, not a bad beat story. Not a bad beat story, because I won. I have QQ UTG, and I raise to $1. The table folds to me and I make $0.75. This was a fairly passive table, and even with crap hands, at least one player and the blinds would have called.
