bitch and whine

Just randomly decided to hop on lp while watching the Jays/Dodgers game, and read this

This is pretty remarkably close to some thoughts I've been having about where my life is and what my (few) options are moving forward. Future in poker is uncertain with advancement of AI and RTAs and increased computing power, and never ending supply of 20 year olds who will work harder and my own decline in intelligence, and yada yada yada.

Just had a really unusual week, not sure I've had one anywhere to this extent, but ran something like 3500bb below ev (plolol), but ended up net positive because multiple stakes.

Having said all that, I do feel like I've had another mini breakthrough in terms of some aspects of the game that was previously... I guess murky at best? So I guess we'll see where things go from here.

The other problem with my current grinding situation is, with the PVI system on gg poker, there is a clear incentive to finish top 3 in the leaderboards (preferably first) to maximize your effective rakeback %. Which means grinding these outrageous 10+ hour days where my play at the end is not as sharp and my results suffer at the tables. Not sure how to optimize, maybe I need to re-think this strategy of, more tables-higher hands/hr-lower winrate-but net higher hourly plan and focus on the nuances that'll allow me to move up.

But yeah, hell of a baseball game so far. Hope the whos whos of whats left of LP is doing well!
