Instead I prefer full ring when I want to grind a lot, because I can win more fpp's, and I'd have to win 2.5-3x less bb/100 just to make same/less than 6m bumhunting.
Just look at the known MSNL bumhunters. No one would consider them better than a player with a similar winrate that mass tables. For those of you that will say it, this isn't a bash on bumhunters. Just saying winrates aren't that big of a deal, hourly would be the best indicator of skill including time waiting for bums for the hunters.
Higher winrare -> less variance [smaller downswings] -> better mindset and less tilt problems
Small winrate -> huge variance [looong BE stretches, big downswings] -> mindset is ****ed up and you are more tilty, stressed etc.
Now you are going into a dead cycle. If you don't have tilt problems, you constantly win, variance is small and no loong downswings, then you go to the tables more happily, tilt less and again won more.
If you have huuuuge downswings, u slighlty win and still have long break even stretches and lose a quite often then it cause tilt. You tilt more, you lose more, you are stressed etc.
So, jumanjii, go to doctor and let him look up into you head. I think you need brain surgery.
