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
