I like to compare 3 sets of data and hope some of you (and my friends) like this comparison

Would be nice to analyze my (mostly 2/5 NLH) results with you all.
Started with 12k BR.

Set 3 (Set 1, Set 2)
h means hours played
Total means the total value of all days so far

Day 1 +319 (153, 374) 8.5 h (3, 7) Total +319 (153, 374) 8.5 h (3, 7)
Day 2 ????? (135, 1233) ??? (8.5, 9) ????????? (288, 1607) ???? (11.5, 16)


Enjoy the ride M

Huh?

This thread will help you understand. Quite the grinder. GL again Marta.

Grinder is right! This could get interesting.

Damn, I have a math degree and I don't have a clue on what this means...

He has gone to Vegas twice in the last two years for extended periods of time and he has a thread, but he only updates it with hours played and his wins or loses.

In the following example: Day 1 +319 (153, 374) 8.5 h (3, 7) Total +319 (153, 374) 8.5 h (3, 7) I believe it reads as follows

Day 1 of this trip made $319
Day 1 of trip 1 made $153
Day 1 of trip 2 made $374
Played 8.5 hours day 1 this trip
Played 3 hours day 1 of trip 1
Played 7 hours day 1 of trip 2
At this point he has made a total of $319 on this trip
He had made a total of $153 at this point on trip 1
He had made a total of $374 at this point on trip 2
At this point he has played 8.5 hours on this trip
He had played a total of 3 hours at this point on trip 1
He had played a total of 7 hours at this point on trip 2

Should be somewhat interesting to see how he does this time around.

Set 3 (Set 1, Set 2)
h means hours played
Total means the total value of all days so far

Day 1 +319 (153, 374) 8.5 h (3, 7) Total +319 (153, 374) 8.5 h (3, 7)
Day 2 +848 (135, 1233) 10 h (8.5, 9) +1167 (288, 1607) 18.5 h (11.5, 16)
Day 3 ????? (487, 229) ??? (8.5, 9) ????????? (775, 1836) ???? (20, 25)

kudos for Franchise5 for his/her explanation of my data (and shame on cfreaks )

lol... why should we even care anything about your profitability without the crux of the biscuit?

there is a blog space already

Set 3 (Set 1, Set 2)

Day 3 +490 (487, 229) 10 h (8.5, 9) +1657 (775, 1836) 28 h (20, 25)
Day 4 ????? (5, 78) ??????? (10.5, 8) ????? (780, 1914) ???? (30.5, 33)

Very pleased with my first 3 days. My goal is to average more than 200 a day (set 1 ended with 190 a day and set 2 ended with 165 a day) so now I am 1057 ahead of schedule

@MSchu18 I know some (maybe most) 2P2 people do not care about my results, but there are also some who do and for them (and my friends back home) I post my grind here in Las Vegas Lifestyle.

This might be better suited in House of Blogs.

This guy makes the best threads on this site. Let's let him do his thing.


Play well Marta, and have fun!

Your quest is interesting M.

I feel it would be much more entertaining if you could give us a couple hundred words every couple of post describing your quest beyond just the results. Many enjoy the journey (especially in LVL) more than the destination.

It's hard to not want to be indulged when I've been re-reading some of Katana's earlier Tales of the Night Shift, this evening

Every day starts as a new battle (starting with 0 profit) which in turn makes it a bit hard, because it feels like you never really win the battle.
Keeping your calm when you are down for the day is an important quality of a good grinder. Previously I stopped playing after tilt emotions (which is better than playing tilty), but I hope I have improved my skills so I can keep playing my (A-game) hours even after tilting. Day 2 I went from -350 to +848 in the last hour
Day 4 I was too lazy with my table selection.

Tough day 4, thanks for adding some thoughts. This is getting good

Day 6 ????? (-254, 200) ???? (9, 9) ?????? (765, 2595) ???? (53, 52)

Lost 1 BI (bit of bad luck) in the beginning of the day and did fight all day to go into positive territory again. Made it, so have to be satisfied about the day.

The +1676 and 47 hours in 5 day are good and probably I am running a little on the upside of variance. Still my goal is to beat 200 profit / day and so far there is no reason to believe I am not going to make that goal.

Does anybody know how to align the numbers (like simply using tabs in Word or Notepad to make some kind of columns) in my daily table? Would like to make it more readable for you all.

is this a subtle Zappa reference my man???

it is my friend, you're the man!

Frankly, I was just wondering what the importance of viewing outcome versus process is to the non-participant.

"hey, your trend is really cool... but past performance is no guarantee of future results"

First week ended:

Average daily is 233 (set 1: 190 set 2: 165) which is still somewhat above goal.
Hourly is 23.30 (set 1: 23.93 set 2: 22.25) which is comparable.

I am curious about what other players hourly (and daily) on the 2/5 is. Who wants to share this?

Some bad luck yesterday (the famous KK vs AA and failing to make my draws).
