Stop limits.

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.

Of course he is dead wrong. THAT goes without saying when Singer posts now.

Not only is time off necessary to ensure an AP, any AP is at the top of their game, but for someone like me, it is all about not wearing out your welcome by over-playing and seeing the same pit folks too often. I did that in my first home base destination, Atlantic City.

I actually want to play as little as I can while accumulating the EV that I desire for the year and remaining within the betting limits that I have determined are well tolerated by each different casino and situation. It is a real balancing act.

One good thing about the whole covid situation is that I have been able to bump up and play higher limits than usual, meaning I can get that EV with less rounds played. It also means the swings and variance can be greater. I dealt with that last year when I basically doubled my stakes everywhere and immediately hit a long negative run. Playing fewer sessions means I didn't have as much play to recover. Basically, I got stuck in the short term and on the wrong side of the curve.

This year I have played higher stakes selectively, meaning on busy weekend or holiday times and played my regular stakes most other times, still reducing rounds played to earn the same EV. It has worked out a lot better for me and the reduced rounds increases longevity as long as those time of higher level play don't draw more attention. That is why I limit it to busier times.

Naturally you needed to produce another bs-laced essay just to make yourself feel better about my hitting the nail on the head about you yet again.

Any gambling-town AP who can't get a decent break from the action with a few good night's sleep and several errand-filled days, is weak and confused to begin with.

You're so full of shit with your stories kew. Most people who concoct that kind of nonsense can do it without busting up the serenity of a forum or needing to post multiple long-winded stories/setting the records "straight" in order that they get a pat on the back from a weirdo like redietz. And they CERTAINLY have no need whatsoever to continuously evoke Nersesian's (or whatever his name is) just to pretend they know their stuff.

You step in your own traps kew. And you know it.

Your buddy the UnKool1, has made up for lost time by posting his usual marathon length posts 8-10 minutes apart in quick succession, putting Marathon Mission himself to complete shame. 146 doesn't have a hope in hell !
