I'm up
More than what I've aimed for the year.. That is the primary reason I'm not motivated and have logged in less thany 30 hours in last three months.. Planning to do some traveling next month

I think I can speak for most of us here when I say that we're not in this to impress the likes of you.
And what would you like us to work on? Or do you just think we're a bunch of sandbaggers?

Excellent start to the year, hope it continues. Over double ev, about 6.5 units/hour, for over 550 hours. Set 43 ATH's this year, nearing the end of my second full year of play.

Got back from a sojourn for a few days, and of course I had my biggest session loss of the year, 100+ units :sad: Of course, if you never brought it up mj, I'm sure it never would have happened! :laugh: So the blame falls squarely on you! :grin:
It was an abbreviated session, towards the end of my trip, was getting annoyed and tire so left early, so doesn't really count in my book
Normally I would just sit there til I get most of my money back. Eh flat the other days, so I guess a 100 unit loss over a few days isn't the worse thing that could have happened.My trick for reducing variance is playing a joint bank with GF (I'm Not Jill]. That has noticeably dampened the flux.
We drifted up somewhat steadily, nothing dramatic, for the first five months or so, then we were slammed for 150 units, then we crushed several different venues. We quickly recovered that loss and are up a little over 600 units beyond that. It has been a very good year so far, about 1500 units or so. Almost all straight CC BTW. :eyepatch:
This is a good time to thank the many supportive posters who have helped us to sharpen our games. There is some awesome intellect here, an amazing resource for both newbies and old dogs like myself (34th year counting :devil.

I wish we were all playing on one huge team, EMFH. They hit me hard over the past month. :laugh:

down
~30 hrs, down 65 units. Unfortunate big negative variance swing hit last session with a new spread increase.
Was slightly above water 5 units prior to that.

Congratulations! May negative variance remain far behind you! Maybe it's time to change your name to ROCK1296.

My sincere congrats, Mr Flash.
Don't get too cocky though. You know as well as anyone that expectation has a way of catching up in the longrun. Always better to have expectation chasing you than you chasing expectation though.

As we move onto the second half of 2011, I was wondering how everybody's years are going so far?
There have been 28 weekends this year so far, of which I've played 16 of them. I have had 9 losing trips and 7 winning trips. Right now I'm under EV, averaging a winrate of about 2/3 a unit per hour.
I definitely know that I am still inside the turmoil of variance, but it doesn't make it any easier to stomach psychologically when I am definitely under my simulated EV. I peaked around the middle of March and have been steadily decreasing my profit since then.
2010 (my first year of counting) treated me much better. 2011 is a fickle mistress and if I do say so myself being kind of a bitch
Positive varience always treats me well. Mainly because I know when to jump in a game better than most. 7 trips. 1 losing trip 3 trips break even after trip expenses and three trips closer to the high end of my hourly standard deviation. I am in the green. Never have really gone under since I started. Had a couple of handfulls of losing trips but never been stupid enough to go bust. With my winnings always out weighing my loses. I play the hi-lo count a little different than most and that most undoubtabley contributes to my huge monster wins or my mountainous losses. All in all nothing to wipe my smile off my face.
One more thing, would you believe all my profit is from 6:5games with poor pen?

Wow! Just think what you could do with decent rules and pen.
