When less is more

Last night, I had another losing session. Despite that fact, I actually lowered my extrapolated loss for the year. How was that possible? For the simple reason that I didn't play the night before last, so last night's loss was spread out over two days. The average loss over those two days turned out to be less than my average loss over the first twelve days of the year. If I stopped playing for the rest of the year, my extrapolated loss would drop like a stone every day :-) Of course, that would also guarantee a loss on the year, and that's something I could never stomach. Knock on wood, I haven't had an unprofitable year since I started playing online poker over nine years ago.
