Playing my VP strategy never somehow "turned -EV into +EV plays"....nor was it ever identified as such. It very simply and VERY effectively provides the best opportunity for me to do in my own specified chunk of time what you say you just did within your own specified chunk of time--to get ahead and take a well-deserved break, for as long as a particular player chooses for his or her own particular reasons. And I guess you see....it kinda works, right?

Other than that (and your obvious craving to forum-post while most are showing they have other important parts of their lives to attend to) if a true AP takes time off, all they are doing is lowering their income. That's the cold hard truth of it. But there are a myriad of valid excuses, trade-offs, and other reasons not readily explicable, for doing this that come into play for everyone, and since no one walks 24/7 in anyone else's shoes, to criticize another for doing so is to show ignorance. And making shit up about why you're taking issue with other people's choices is never gonna be anything but a grinding internal struggle.

If only redietz could put down his thoughts in English instead of Red Chinese....

Actually, you're dead wrong on the "if a true AP takes time off, all they are doing is lowering their income." If you're doing anything that requires judgement, like sports betting or poker, you need the best version of yourself. Any kind of fatigue degrades your abilities. And being in top physical and mental shape so you can maintain the best version of yourself as long as possible requires some kind of training so your physical and mental stamina hold up or are increased.

Therefore, taking time off can serve two purposes -- (1) it gives you rest time to recharge and (2) it provides time to train so your stamina, both mental and physical, is increased for further APing.

Anyone confused by my writing, as Rob usually is, please feel free to ask questions. I've trained every year for 45 years so I can hold up physically and mentally while wagering 24/7 during football seasons. Watching 40-some hours of football each week while wagering 24/7 is not a physically easy gig. Back in my 30's, my conditioning training was designed to match the 100% grade of the Marines circa 1975. Now that I'm old, I simply can't do that any longer, but I still manage to train every other day with the exception of September/October.
