Respiration rate

Every now and then I like to come up with a new poker statistic. My latest one is respiration rate. This refers to the average amount of play money I "breathe" in or out per session, observed over some longer interval. For the purposes of this new statistic, it doesn't matter whether the money came in or out; all that matters are the amounts respired. Here's my respiration rate per session, observed on a yearly basis:

  $9,232  2009
 $25,051  2010
 $30,913  2011
 $65,327  2012
 $32,944  2013
 $56,703  2014
 $44,214  2015
 $47,356  2016
$177,149  2017
$256,171  2018

Of course, no respiration rate would be sustainable without some sort of balance between the inhalations and the exhalations.

In other news, my porpoising continued; I registered the fourth largest reverse rebound of my career last night.
