Im a similiar way. When I go to play live, if I lose my first buyin I would say 3 out of 4 times I end up down for the session. If I win a few hundred to start, I usually come out a winner. I think the beginning of a session is crucial.
Having a bigger stack also allows you to see more flops with other big stacks bc of implied odds and you can get paid big time.

Agreed. And I think having a "winning image" as opposed to a "losing image" is huge. This is why I typically start off fairly tight, before moving to my LAG image.
Just goes to show how important table selection can be. Starting at tables where you will likely win could be a big edge. |

Yep, this sure did feel a lot better. Well, it does NOW anyway - now that I'm done.

TP,
How are you generating your graphs? I don't have third-party software, and I can't figure it out in PT.

Go to the game notes tab in PT, then hit the get all button to retrieve the entire data set that you are looking at and it the 1st little g button. THe second one just allows you to set constraints on how many data points you want to graph.

Yep. It's extremely easy. Three clicks (including clicking on the Games tab if you're not already there) and you're done. I don't need fancy - I just need a quick and dirty graph.
For a LOT of hands - many thousand - this will still work, but you may want to go to the "Sessions" tab and do the same thing there - the graph will generate much faster. It won't show your intersession variance, but it's a good way to look at your overall trends. Once you've generated the graph, simply click Alt-PrintScreen. This will copy the image of your screen to your clipboard. Then open Paint or Photoshop or whatever and paste the image in there. You can crop it and resize it and whatever else you want to do, and then save it somewhere. Then when you want to post it, just click on "Manage Attachments" (in "Additional Options" below the "Submit Reply" button), and upload your image there. I realize you may not all or part of this process already, but I figured I'd sepll it out for anyone else interested. |

OK, I decided... screw the two graphs I posted above (especially the first one).
THIS is the kid of session I prefer. ![]() (I suppose I was briefly down in the beginning, but not even a half a buy in) |
