you get pocket pairs evey 17 hands but in my 294 bb downswing over 5501 hands at £2/4 just moved up i have had only 273 and moslty low ones.
am i looking at this correctly
5501 /17 = 323 pairs had 273 = 50ish behind

uh you lost 300BB at a level you just moved up to right

uh move down for now, no need to piss money away at a level you aren't ready for

it was mainly you posted 10threads all asking 1question in each, instead of 1thread asking 10questions ..

*edit* also you aren't being flamed, you are getting your advice, which is what you need to learn, stop worrying about dumb little stats like this and play some poker

It's way too small a sample to have any statistical significance. Post again after 100,000 + hands. And frankly, it would not be the sole explanation for losing at the rate you are, you have other leaks that need to be plugged. At the same time, regardless of your skill, there is variance/standard deviation, all players, including the very, very best hit downswings. The key is to minimize your losses when these downswings occur. Whining about bad cards is a bad sign. Recognizing it and acting upon it appropriately would be a lot more helpful.
