vp questions

Hello:
New member here. I am enjoying the posts discussing the challenges of
vp.I have played for several years and have started working on
improving my play earlier this year. I have purchased the win pro
program a few months ago. I have learned alot from using this,it
certainly has incresed my play on dueces wild and my last 2 royals
have been on FPDW. If anyone could help I would like to find out more
about the following:
1-what is the best use of the variance # for a game?
2-where can I find more info on money management/limits? This has
been an area I have seen very few articles or posts about.
All help would be greatly appreciated---CAF

1. Generally speaking variance is an indicator of the volatility of a game.
9/6 jb has a low variance and is not as streaky a game as something like Super Aces which has a high variance. In a game like 9/6 jb you can have a session that is close to break even without getting any of the big hands, in a game like super Aces you will most likely lose significantly without getting the big hands.

2. Money management is a myth. If you play a game that is positive, and play it well you are likely to win money in the long-term, so why do you need money management ?
Other than that it would boil down to what makes you comfortable.
For example … If I lose $60 in a machine I will move to another machine.
Logical , nope.
But it makes me feel better and there is no real downside.
If you have a limited budget divide your money up by the number of days you have.
If you lack control divide your money into smaller chunks for better control.

See the following link from the vpFREE database for more information.
