Second Quarter Update

I'm still on a roll. Either I am running extremely well, people are playing very badly, my game has tremendously improved, likely a combination of all 3.

Here's the stats for the second quarter of the year:
6/12 +116 4.5 hours
8/16 -84 3.667 hours
20/40 -3784 25 hours
40/80 16468 110.75 hours
75/150 6305 3.5 hours

Total = 19021 147.417 hours for an hourly rate of 129.03!
Better than my first quarter average!

The results are partly skewed because of my big win in the 75/150 against Jerry Buss. If I remove that the hourly rate comes down to 88.36 an hour, pretty close to my 1st quarter average.

Also, seems like for whatever reason I haven't been playing well in the 20/40 game. Granted I didn't put in too many hours, but over 25 hours of play I would normally expect to show a profit, not a loss. Not sure if it's me playing too loose in that game, or the players have gotten better. I cut my teeth on the 8/16 game at Oceans 11, before they spread 40/80 regularly. It seems to me that the game right below the regular biggest game in the house, is usually the toughest. It has the lower limit players trying to move up and the better higher limit players who have stepped down to rebuild a bankroll. Possibly that's what is starting to happen to the 20/40 game at Oceans 11. When I was playing the 8/16 at Oceans 11 I thought that was the toughest game in the house, after I had made the move to 20/40.

Next time I play the 20/40, I will really bolt down and see how it goes.
