A good portion of serious recreational players, and most pros, do indeed
track their own play. They write down their starting and ending point total, so
they know the number of hands they've played. And several people I know keep a
spreadsheet with play by session, including number of hands played, amount
won/lost, and the percentage return of that session. Some people write down
every quad, and every Royal scare. Whatever floats your boat!
I'm guessing Steve doesn't actually play much VP in casinos. Please correct
me if this impression is wrong.

Let me ask you this -- do you _ever_ keep track of the actual number
of hands you play during a session, and compute the exact ER that
you achieved for that session? I'll bet you don't, and I'll bet there are
very few player who do (I'm tempted to claim "none" here, but then
I think of Monk...). Why? Because players don't REALLY care about
about the number of hands they've played and how that relates to
their performance.
I guess you should call me "Monk". I compute the number of hands I play
from my coin-
in. I know my win/loss in dollars or bets, and therefore I know the exact ER
for every
session (exact, in so far as the "points" are indeed accurate; hence I
periodically manually
check them). I'd also guess that others here do or could do the same
computaion (since
they keep track of their win/loss and points)-- but it's only a guess.
