Which Vegas 1/3 you play? Aria and Wynn have always been soft in my experience. I played during the WSOP and winter holidays though.

Including the time in between hands, dealer giving out chips...ect, you are probably sitting idle 90% of the time you are at a poker table. There's plenty of time to record stuff and I have a very good memory.

So far in 2018, Ive called raises with pocket pairs with the intention to set mine 93 times.

Ive hit 14 sets and made $3635 in those hands.

21 times I continued post flop even though I originally was set mining but something during the hand changed my mind. In those hands I made $1360. I won 16 of those hands. 1 of those was a big all in on the flop and I won and in the process I won $465 more than my All in EV so my adjusted profit on these 21 hands is $895 or about $43 per hand.

In the other 58 hands, I lost a total of $1020 by calling preflop and then folding the flop.

This is all very helpful information when determining if Im calling too many raises with small-mid pairs to set mine. Instead of reading a book and using some guys arbitrary formula to determine when I can profitably call a raise with a pp, I record this kind of stuff and determine it on my own. Im not guessing. I know these things for a fact.

It also keep me from getting bored which can be a big problem playng live.
Impressive stat tracking no doubt.

tldr poker sucks.

last night i dropped 6.5 buy ins. i should have a stop loss, but i only play poker like once a month now and so i rather not cut my sessions short.

i would truly say that most of me getting stacked were coolers. King-high flush vs. Ace-high flush on a 3-card flush non-paired board; AK vs KxTd in big 3bet pot all in on a dry Kxx flop he runner runner flush; set over set; flopped straight vs bottom set all in turn he rivers boat. literally like 3-4 more of these types of hands.

other than that, i flopped a straight in a heads-up single raised pot and i c-bet and he folded, i win $25. i flopped middle set in another single raised heads-up pot, i c-bet and i win another $25.

again, tldr, poker sucks.

I average 1500 hours a year [since 2014] & $17.xx pr hour. I've played 253.26 hours in 2018 & have averaged $2.60 per hour, winning $658 & $620 of that came in my last 2 sessions. A good part of January was spent stuck in the red.

Damn good thing I avg an additional $2 pr hr in promo money.

I do watch Andrew Neeme's vlogs a lot and see his perspective on calling down a decent size pot with top pair, getting in with speculative hands that probably wouldn't bode well in 1/3, etc. My last session I found myself getting into so many multiway pots and really couldn't do much. (I play in LA, and Temecula and I would say 90% of players are calling stations regardless of my raise size. And I find myself first into the pot raising and get 3-4 callers with like AKo, JJ and make poor decisions on later streets. Maybe I should be tightening up my UTG-UTG+2 range?) Just rambling, but these are the thoughts that are going on these days.
IMO, bold is the bulk of your problem

I've just hit 1000 hours logged, so I thought I'd post my results. (I last posted at 400 hours iirc.) These go back to January 2016, when I was grinding full-time in Vegas. Now I have a contracting job and play part-time. Most of the hours are 2-5, but there is some 1-2 and 1-3 during a time when that was the biggest stakes available where I lived. There are also a few sessions of 5-10 and one 5/10/25.

I don't like the downward trend in BBs/hour, but I knew my initial win-rate was unsustainable, and also I moved up in stakes. I'd certainly be happy maintaining the 9 BBs/hour win-rate.

Bluebassman, if the majority of your hours are 2/5, then how does 9BB/hr = $27/hr?

Seems like more than half of your hours have to be at 1/2 or is my math way off?

Oh, I think you're right. During the period that I was playing 1-2/1-3, I didn't have a day job, so my sessions were longer. I have more sessions at 2-5 but more hours at 1-2/1-3.

You mean a set amount of money in my pocket? When Im playing 2/5 I normally bring $2000 with me. Lately Ive been playing 5/10 when the occasional game runs so Ive been bringing $3000 with me. I also have quite a few people in the room that will loan me money if I run out, but that's never happened.

I did forget to bring any money with me twice and someone floated me money to play so I didnt have to drive home or to the bank.
