    Cheaper games = higher variance players
    Bigger games = more decision making needed. 

    IMHO

    Hi Geldy, thanks for your input

    Of course that makes sense, however
    PLO8 has a very limited number of players on here.
    Some of the winning players at £3 or maybe £5 will not play £11.
    So my question was really about who is filling the £11 if it is not the winning regs (and Tikay).

    I don't really believe £11 games to be easier, I was just curious.

    Not played this week, been a bit utw, but I may play a mini-session after tonight's England v Fiji World Cup opener, & again tomorrow & Sunday.   

    So, before I get in a muddle with my numbers, I'd best post the numbers from last week. Variance was in fine form, let me tell you. What a fickle lady she is. Some "best" & "worst" sessions last week. Just when you think you've cracked the game, along comes Dame Fickle, smoking a pipe.

    Hope you're ok Mr K, wonder why you consider variance to be a lady? (I see variance as a mean grumpy old man!)

    Enjoy the game, hopefully see you at the tables later

    I am sorry but I had to edit your 10 minute commentary on my fireplace brickwork.

    So, all in all, not a good week. As of c-o-b Thursday, I was heading for 60% of games won, & some very respectable profits, but the wheels came off over Friday, Saturday, &, especially, Sunday. No idea how I lost 5 of 6 @ £11 on Sunday, but then I have no idea how I did so stunningly well on Wednesday & Thursday.

    In the end, I was pleased to escape with a profit, albeit a small one.
     
    The bankroll stands at £2,161.39, & the battle to hold above £2,200 continues.

    Loved every minute of it though. 

    Might pop in later this evening for an hour or two, & again over the weekend.

    Enjoy your weekend, whatever your plans are.

    Barely played last week, just 22 games, of which I managed to win just 11.

    This week? Don't ask, am getting beaten up left right & centre, Monday in particular, winning just 10 from 26. Ugh. Run bad, play bad, bad bad, bleurgh. Enjoying the struggle though, there is something quite satisfying when it is all uphill & into the wind.

    Anyway, the reason I posted today was to give a bit of encouragement to a special mate of mine, "mmmchips". 

    This guy is the greatest, & might just be the most witty, & to see him toy with the trolls, in particular the resident PLO8 troll, is incred.
     
    Right now, he can't win a race to save his life, bear after beat is getting inflicted on him, but he takes it all like a grown up should.

    Chin up Mr mmm, it'll turn soon enough.

    I'd better post last week's numbers, before I get in a muddle.

    Nothing much, just three small sessions, but it all has to be recorded.
