Default Attention newbies on coolers!

Alright... whenever the first page of this forum has more than 1 "bad run" thread authored by somebody who thinks that it's even possible for that concept to apply to fewer than a few hundred SNGs, it's time for a refresher.

If you've been on this forum for more than 4 months, you can probably disregard everything below.

Running bad blows. But it blows even worse to not even know what it means to run bad.

If you are new, please read this: That which we shall not speak of

By the way, since I wrote that post I've seen even worse runs than I described. I was just starting to wrap my mind around SNG variance "back then."

You should buy one of Skipperbob's t-shirts. They say:

"I lose more by 6am than most people lose all day."
