A fine blue cadence

Lately I've settled into a fine blue cadence. What I mean by this is that I'm regularly achieving blue sessions, at fairly predictable intervals.

This is an excerpt from my October 6, 2020 post. I'm in a fine blue cadence again, albeit for a looser definition of what it means to be in the blue. Prior to 2022, my poker annus horribilis, my definition of being in the blue was when my career balance reached a new all-time high. Since I lost over 85 million play dollars in 2022, I decided to localize my definition of being in the blue to the current poker year. If I achieve a new high for the current poker year's balance in a session, I count that session as a blue one. Last night's session was my fifth blue one in a row.

A fine blue cadence

I'm having a good poker November so far. Last night, on the strength of making the final table, my overall balance returned to the blue. That's my fifth blue session of the month. I'm aiming to keep this fine blue cadence going :-)

This is an excerpt from my October 6, 2020 post; it applies equally well to my recent results. Four of my last ten sessions, including last night's, have been blue.

This is an excerpt from my October 6, 2020 post; it applies equally well to my recent results. Six of my last ten sessions have been blue ones. I'm on pace to make a profit of more than 25 million play dollars this year, which would take my overall balance north of 100 million. Now that's a nice round number :-)

A fine blue cadence

Lately I've settled into a fine blue cadence. What I mean by this is that I'm regularly achieving blue sessions, at fairly predictable intervals. Already, this year's blue count is the third highest of my career. Last night, I did something I almost never do - I registered for a tournament before it began. That meant I got to play more hands, as long as I didn't run into a cooler or do something stupid. Playing more hands is not always a good idea in cash games, but it's unequivocally a good idea in tournaments :-)
