It is weird, really weird. Playing Blackjack, it seemed like you never win, but somehow, someway, at the end of the year, you've won basically 1% on turnover, which is approximately the edge you have when counting cards. (Can vary a little depending on your min bet to max bet). 1% does not sound like much, but the turnover is huge, so 1% of turnover is plenty.

 

Well after my dummy spit, I had a look at my figures since joining TPE. I don't know how, I don't know why, but considering the low turnover I play, (I'm only a rec player) somehow I'v made a profit each month since joining TPE. I only play midstakes and 1 and sometimes 2 tourneys a day.

 

It just doesn't seem possible considering how bad I'm running, the figures below show I'm actually running good. Is this possible? How can this be so?

I don't get it. The figures speak for themselves. So thx heaps TPE.

Thx Cougars.

 

I know it is only a small sample but it is the months after joining TPE, but as I said, I just don't get it. You've no idea how bad (sorry I'm sure you do) I've been running with my my monster hands pre & post. But heck, I should just stop complaining and run with whatever comes along. If losing nearly every hand I'm involved in makes me money then ok, I'll take it. 🙂

with all due respect, you might have been running super super hot for 2 months as well. those ROI figures are amazing, and your “bad” patch still has an awesome roi

 

wait until you go on a 40 buyin downswing, then come back and chat about it 😀
