Operation: Consistency

Getting pwned today. Around every corner is some reg that is whipping out AA with ninja efficiency. While my push/fold game seem fine I appear to have broken my post-flop game.

Honestly, wtf am I doing? C-bet or check-fold.

Ok, things are hotting up on the table. Oh, and wtf is it regs who feel like sitting down with 5 other regs is in any way a profitable use of their time?

If you can achieve 10% ROI consistently, you are doing pretty well. Something like 6-8% is pretty solid. Part of the issue is there are almost always at least 2-3 regs on a table.

Yesterday was decent in terms of volume. Around 110 games I think. Wednesday was pretty much a no starter because of the PS server reset and then my internet connection was a bit dodgy. We get screwed in South Africa for internet. Believe it or not, I still play off a 384k line because our telephony company (the only one) wants R400 (around $60) for a 4mb ADSL line rental fee. I'm not sure what the international standards are but we have to pay for a line rental and then an ADSL line rental fee in spite of the line being identical! So we sit in a situation where the data is pretty cheap, but the telephony company bleeds us dry in line rental fees. $%&* Helkom!

I won't get much volume in today because I need to prepare for going away for the weekend. A friend of a friend gave us permission to use their 'farm' for the weekend. I use the word farm rather loosely because the land has actually never been farmed. It's basically a piece of land in the mountains with awesome rivers. Since it's summer time here now and really hot, it's going to be awesome just chilling in the river. The whole trip costs us around $40 incl petrol, food, someone to cook breakfast for us.
