Something I'm getting better at is choosing games based on my mood, concentration, and variance tolerance level. My EV, particularly in HU games fluctuates a ton. I think I actually maximize my EV and definitely lower variance by picking games more carefully. I'll avoid playing the super aggro Russian guy if I'm not in mood to gamble it up. Save my tough matches for the afternoon when I'm more fresh. Sometimes grinding some 6-max in the evening. It's +EV and I can more or less autopilot. If I was playing 5/10+ it makes more sense to just play whenever. But mid stakes games are so good and always running. There's really no need to push yourself too hard playing in suboptimal conditions. This method is working well for me. I grind more hands at a higher hourly this way. Historically I have been bad about putting in hands because I tend to take longish breaks when running bad.

Getting pretty psyched for Vegas. Talked with Bobbo today. Apparently I get my own room now, which is probably good since I talk in my sleep. Bobbo and Assani take pickup ball damn seriously. I am really really rusty. Going to shoot around tomorrow and try not to embarrass myself.
