[vpFREE] Re: Progressive strategy change and variance

 




To write "a drought is a drought" betrays a lack of perspective.

A player who aggressively takes advantage of play opportunities, within a reasonable margin of risk, still confronts the possibility of encountering a play drought that is at the extreme of expectation.  Should such a drought occur, there's the distinct possibility that the associated bankroll drain will make continued play at present denominations unwise.  In that event, "breaking out of the drought" and restoring your play position (at reduced stakes) becomes a daunting challenge.

That's the focus of altered goal strategy -- to reduce risk without significant EV sacrifice.

Apologies, but just to jump in (maybe where I am not wanted), but a drought is a drought is a drought. Maybe you can look at it like a baseball player in a hitting slump.  A manager usually sticks with a "good" player and the player usually is an asset to the team.  If you play "good" games and make few mistakes, you break out of the drought.  How many times have you gotten 3-4 RF's in the course of a week or two?
