Disappearing into the year

The deeper you play into a poker year, the more the accumulated data of the year outweighs whatever your current results are. In effect, you disappear into the year, and it takes a search party to find you.

This is an excerpt from my November 2, 2019 post. I disappeared into this poker year a while ago. That's not a bad thing, as long as you're net positive :-)

This is an excerpt from my November 2, 2019 post; I've reused it twice before this. If the shoe fits, wear it. I actually quite like disappearing into a year, when I've already made a decent profit on it. If I'm in the red near the end of a year, however, I try very hard to emerge from hiding :-)

This is an excerpt from my November 2, 2019 post, which I also appropriated for my July 27 post of this year. In the July post, I thought I was destined to make a profit of 25 million this year; I have to lower that projection to 18 million. Still not a bad haul :-)

Disappearing into the year

This is the second time I've used this blog post title. The first was on November 2 of last year; here's an excerpt of what I had to say:

Just seven months into 2020, I feel like I've already disappeared into it. It seems that no matter what, I'm destined to make a profit of 25 million this year. I'll take it :-)

Disappearing into the year

The deeper you play into a poker year, the more the accumulated data of the year outweighs whatever your current results are. In effect, you disappear into the year, and it takes a search party to find you. On the final days of the year, you're essentially invisible. This is to be expected, and I actually kind of like it. It makes you feel like you're playing with house money :-)
