I chuckle because THIS is the AP mentality 100%. This is just the way we think.
Back when I joined this forum, I was using a signature line about how I tracked my play via EV, adding up all the different expected value into a running number, that I called "accumulated EV". Regardless of what happened that day, in the end (long term) the EV and actual results would sinc up. I concluded
'That way every day is a winning day" which was meant to be humorous. But that humor and this concept was lost on some of the non-AP's on the forum. One guy started calling my accumulated EV "phantom bucks",
, proving he didn't have a clue about advantage play.
Another time I wrote about a day that I lost I forget the amount maybe 6 grand. But I had gotten in a lot or rounds that day at pretty good game for a high expected value (EV) total. I concluded that was a good day. Again somebody, a late member of this forum, just couldn't grasp that concept and harped on it for months.
What are you going to do? There are AP's and non-AP's and we just don't think the same way.
