Stars experiment not going well
As I have mentioned before, I was attempting to experiment on Poker Stars this month to see if a SNE run is possible for 2011. The games I have been playing in have not been working out. It is a somewhat small sample... around 60k hands, but if you go by all-in EV I am losing WAY too much. I am actually down around 10-20 buy-ins, I don't know exactly because of the unorganized database spread between my three computers.
I am throwing in the towel and just giving up. I can't be getting crushed each day and session like I am now.
Also, the office is no more. I decided to not renew the lease when it expires on January 15th. It's been nice having Tim there to talk poker with and I feel like I'm a better player now than I was at the beginning of the year but my results now are not what I imagined they would be. I sort of expected to be moving up the stakes, getting better a lot faster, and crushing a lot harder... what actually happened is I had to move down stakes due to having to cash out from all of my expenses.
It's frustrating but it was worth the shot as the potential reward was worth the risk. Now it's just time to look at what I have left in my business and build it back up to where I was a year ago. It starts with reducing unnecessary costs like the office.

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out on Stars. It sounds like a wise economical decision not to continue on with that.
ReplyDeleteYou can sync databases on three computers relatively easy by the way if you use drop box. You simply put your HM Archive in the drop box. Then if you want to update your hh on one computer or the other you do a manual import from the drop box.
Sorry stars is treating you bad. Just to let you know... you can sync all your databases pretty easily using an open source program called drop box. Just have your HMArchive folder in drop box. Then when you want to update a particular cpu you do a manuel import from the hmarchive.
