Once again, I'm using the title of a novel I've never read as the title of a blog post. As before, it's written by an author I greatly admire (Philip K. Dick in this instance), whose work I've read widely. That title was what sprung to mind when I looked at the bar chart of my stack size over the course of last night's session. All the blue bars hanging below the zero line are like the tracks of so many tears.
This is an excerpt from my November 4, 2014 post. I haven't been able to look at a bar chart of my stack size over the course of a session since November of 2019, when I got a new computer and discovered that the PokerStars play money client no longer provided hand histories. However, I can always look at bar charts of my balance over the course of a poker year, and looking at the three data points I have for the current year, I see three tears. I have no doubt the flow will stop before long :-)
