Just a couple of things.
Yes, I am playing.
But, yes, still developing and improving.

I played last Saturday (2 hrs) and Sunday (3 hrs). Did well on Sat and broke almost even on Sun.

But then came the next IDEA round.
Let me tell you how that goes.
It is 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 COLLABORATION.

Check out who is posting about moving forward.
@Jim Pommier @Jeff Capper and, of course, @ponyplayer

These are the guys who teach me.
See, I share with them, they add their ideas, then the individual pots get stirred, and when we meet again EVERYONE of US gets stronger.

Example: I got a great idea yesterday while playing, so I quit early to work on it.
Or at least I thought it would turn out to be great.
It actually didn't but it IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM, which I agonized over until bed time.

As often happens, the POTENTIAL solution came to me about 2am.
I got up and recorded it so it wouldn't go away.
(Yeah, that happens. LOL)

Then I tried it and it looked really revolutionary.
So, I called Jeff Capper and we had a zoom.

THE STORY OF THE DAY
Jeff Capper quickly got the credit... WHICH WAS RIGHTFULLY HIS because he is the one that first turned me on to something very similar to the discovery but with a bit if a twist.

What I did was REVERSE IT!
That is, the horses we were originally seeing as CONTENDERS became the ones we TOSSED instead!

JJ and I just had a Zoom where I shared what I'd done, and I shared my rules.

Instantly, he suggested a change in one of the rules...
It has to do with telling when to single a d.
(My current experience on such horses is currently is 27-for-43, with a positive $Net.)

So, what did he do?
He shared another suggestion.
That suggestion (related to d horses that don't quite meet the standards) made a lot of sense.

Peeps, this is what happens when you collaborate.
