Some Ramblings

I made some more progressive playing more sit n gos on Full Tilt a couple nights ago. So far I'm running well. I'm debating switching back over to Stars for sit n gos though. Full Tilt's rewards system kind of sucks compared to Stars. You are rewarded for how many points you accrue on Stars where you are only rewarded for how many days you play on Full Tilt which I think is kind of dumb. If I were to only play 2 days a week, yet play a ton, I wouldn't get much on Full Tilt. As far as game structures go, they are pretty equal in my opinion. However, I am kind of in to stats, and my stats suck on sharkscope on Full Tilt. My drunken $500 sit n gos have taken their toll on my numbers. I'm in the red just about $3500 there. Maybe I'll wait until I'm back in the black before I move off and go back to Stars. That sounds like a dumb reason, but I don't care.

I want to find a form of poker that is lower variance, yet can still provide a chance for a large ROI over time. The problem is that I love playing multis, which by the nature of the payout structures is guaranteed high variance. I love big scores and the thrill that comes with them, but that doesn't really fit in to the low variance concept too well. I think I normally hear the word variance when people are on a downswing, but they kind of forget that big scores are the other end of it. I don't think that's true for everyone, but I think it is a lot of the time. I don't understand how live tournament players survive. A normal online guy can put in more volume in one week than a live tournament player can in a year. A bad week in the online world is pretty common, which could equate to a bad year for a live guy. I couldn't deal with not making money for a whole year. Anyways, I'm just kind of rambling and just writing without much of a point.

I didn't play yesterday even though I was thinking about it while I was at work. I got home about 6, went for a run, showered then ate. By the time I was done with all that, it was well after 8 and I was exhausted. So I finished Dead Space instead. The game ended in awesome fashion and was well worth the price of admission. I've got LittleBigPlanet to play next. I've played it a little bit, and it is a very beautiful game. It seems like it will be a lot of fun as well. 

Alright, time to get back to work.
