So this is what everyone's been talking about . . . (LC)

[Scotch78]

This table is just beautiful, I mean divine . . . three players with VP$IPs over 60% and two of them are betting like it's lowball . . . I'm completely dumbfounded, I've managed to drop $800 to them without going on tilt, and I still think in terms of 1/2 big bets. Can I consider this my official 5/10 welcoming party, or do I have to hit 100 BBs?

edit: It's official, -117BB

Must be jinxed i've been running well for a change at 5/10, today I dropped $800 as well /images/graemlins/frown.gif luckily my BR was 600BBish, wonderful tables as well. This also coincided with me deciding to cover up my $ at each table to see stop it effecting me psychologically :S

I think I forgot how many -100bb evenings I had since I moved to 6max. I played full for about 9 months before coming here in Jan. In those 9 months i had ONE -100bb day. Still though you should find Lost Wages' thread regarding variance in 6max and some common misconceptions, it was a good post.

close, electrical tape actually, I think rory mentioned in another thread you can put your GT+ stats over the top as an alternative, I don't use GT+ so i improvised.

on a happier note, crisis averted +40BB this hour.

Welcome to the aquarium. You forgot to read the sign though. "Please do not feed the fish". Happens though Scotty if you're gonna play this game get numb to the variance. The swings are absolutely sick.

But yeah, a -100 BB session definitely puts you in the club. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

My 5/10 6max welcoming party kicked off with a loss of 90BB's...Felt like I was being jumped into a gang or something.

I've adopted the same thing (using GT+) since reading that suggestion in whatever thread it was.

Sometimes when I'm running really hot I'll giggle and peak, though.

Very appropriate analogy. Both equally painful in my opinion.
