Renewal of a poker vow

If you play poker long enough, you find yourself making poker vows, then breaking them, then making them again, in a seemingly endless cycle. Once again, it's time for me to renew my vow not to play any more 9 max :-) A peek at my career numbers brought this on:

max_players       profit  tourneys     average

          6   $1,566,812       267   $5,868.20
          9     $351,736       214   $1,643.63

I have to stop getting seduced by the huge money up top in the 9 maxes, and just stick to the better profit potential of 6 max. We'll see how long I keep the vow this time :-)
