I have given up on ACR for the time being, although rakeback is so enticing. Yet, RB couldn't plug enough of my leaks to make staying profitable. Down $57 at pennies and $26nickels. That's almost 30 buy-ins at pennies. Bought on for $62 and still up overall with a roll of $100 due to MTT wins, slow-going bonus, and rakeback. I will say in a anemic defense, that I always had 2 tables across the top and forum/reading/studying/typing material taking most of my attention across the bottom 1/3rd of the screen. But I also played/studied the same way to a lesser extent on BOL, and had the opposite winrate, with 10/BB to the positive end of the spectrum. Weird?? If not for the MTT wins, I'd have been driven from the site long ago. That's more than a down-swing; that's a full-fledged pattern at any stakes. Time to move to greener pastures, and focus on studying in a less volatile environment, where I can play a little tighter range, and work in semi-peace. The structures of low stakes GTD tournaments and competition are juicy on ACR, so I will keep one of those going when available and 2NL BOL to fill in any gaps at the top of my screen why I learn. I am always multi-tasking and will never be a 70/30 poker/study person with my time. It's everything or nothing with me, so don't suggest it. It's just not the way I'm wired. I'm not being stubborn.Originally Posted by BigSlickBaby
My volume's starting to pick up quite a bit and I've learned a *lot* in the past few weeks. More than I ever absorbed before. I also like the game more than I ever have and am totally immersed in it now.
Along with my volume, my winrate is increasing. I'm at +2.38 bb/100 over 3,880 hands this month and that's rising quickly. As said, I threw away a good 3 BI's earlier this month that I just never would now. 3 BI's is 300 bb's. /puke.
