In my many years of playing online poker, I discovered many different ways of looking at my results. The most valuable lesson I learned was never to compare apples to oranges. I tried out a variety of poker flavors, and quickly realized I was better at some and worse at others. It didn't take a lot of thought to conclude that it didn't make a lot of sense to amalgamate the results from different flavors; they should be kept separate. The same is true of blitz. Just as blitz is a completely different animal from classical chess, blitz played at one time control can be a completely different animal from blitz played at another time control.
With this in mind, I decided it would be a really good exercise to keep my results at the 10 | 0 time control separate from my results at the other time controls. I feel that 10 | 0 is my natural blitz time control; it's certainly my favorite, and the one with which I feel most at home. Drumroll, please ...
Here are my current results at the 10-0 time control: 196-189-20. I'm seven to the good!
