ktorp, agree (and add...especially those that can't figure out that % means <*> or or = "whatever we feel comfortable with, as long as it's consistently defined"= considerably less than an actual percentage point if you wish

i figured out long ago that dj's got a bigger stomach for relative bet-sizes than i do, and define what he calls <%> accordingly...

in a calendar year of playing almost every day...this is dj's first serious downturn...i see this as an opportunity to "buy in after a dip" cautiously

DJ, bro...steady...focus...plenty (unlimited actually) of rounds left in this fight...use your well-established "boxing" (ie. objective-thinking) skills (edge-recognition, "money management"=bet-size selection based on the magnitude of that edge) skills...don't get lured into a slugging match (ie. falling prey to the subjective temptation to get "revenge" or "save time")...

discipline and patience...you won't just survive this...you will prevail...
