After a terrible week - from bad luck to having to use the same roster all week to being swept from an OL crown in 3 straight - I'm really hoping this is my lowest spot for the year. A slight change in approach is probably warranted.

Perception is a strange thing. It displays a scenario to you that is based on averages - not necessarily fact. Let me apply this to PT.

Let's say I earn 20 packs a week. Logic tells me that if I open them as I get them, I might receive a usable card(s) days before I would had I waited till the end of the week. Let's see how perception plays into this...

If I open the packs as I get them - lets say 2 a day for 10 days - and there are two diamonds in the packs, there will be two days out of ten I will be elated, and 8 days I will be depressed. However, if I wait to open all 20 packs on the last day, I will uncover 2 diamonds and be elated.

In one case I will be depressed 80% of the time, and in the other I will be elated 100% of the time (except in those cases I get nothing in either case but that would be a wash).

See? Perception is weird. LOL

Now that you've stuck with me and are wondering what kind of weirdo I am, I think I have come to the conclusion to spend my week accumulating PPs and packs, and wait till the weekend to open up everything at once. It might put me a few days to a week behind where I could be, but I think I'll spend less time being depressed

So, going into this week with the same rosters on all three teams - let's see what happens...
