So I was reviewing graphs today and a thought popped into my head which has many times. So many of us get so wrapped up in volume and place such an importance on it. But why? Would we rather post a graph showing our 46,942 hands @.000234bb/100 than 9512 hands @ 8.43bb/100?

Now if you noticed I put US in bold/underlined/italic because I wanted to make sure everybody realized I am guilty myself. Now I can only speak for myself but I am realizing more and more that volume has been my enemy for sure. Now as I type this I am on my office computer so I don't have my database available but I believe I put in nearly 500,000 hands last year or there abouts. My winrate is well.......can't even call it a winrate as I am sure it is a negative so we'll call it my lossrate and again don't have the stats available but I am sure I am down a couple hundred bucks for the years.

I have achieved bronze star, silver star and even gold star but I am confident if I walked in the bank they would not except any of my stars for a deposit! More importantly I know my wife doesn't give a shit about my stars. All she knows is my dumbass has been on that computer for countless hours and all I have to show for it is some "Stars!" Oh fuck wait another minute because unlike grade school when the teacher would put a gold star on my homework I could actually take it home and show my mommy. PS doesn't even send me a star to show off with!

So what is the point of all my rambling? Well I for one am going to just "Just Say Fuck It" as my new slogan. If I get flammed for a lack of volume I don't care. Hell it can't be any worse than getting flammed for being a lifer in the mircros. I will play my baby volume until I have mastered (at least logged a baller winrate) my stake and then and only then will I start worrying about my volume.

I would be interested in others thoughts. Am I missing something?

I blew this out real fast without thinking it through but it is what it is.
