Re: Admitting defeat
Okay, allow me to re-phrase or explain what I mean then. Of course, 1000 big bet swings or even 500+ big bet swings won't be "common" occurences in the purest sense of the word.
What I am saying is that if two or three-tabling £150/300 for several hours is your regular everyday game, the chance of enduring a 1000 big bet swing during a year is much more real than "microscopic" or "non-existent".
Meaning, we are not talking "likely" or "common" here, but we are talking of chances in percentages, not one-in-a-millions here.
The thing the online poker does is allowing your to life an entire poker life of the old live days in a year of online poker. That gives talented and eager 20-somethings the chance to go from nowhere to millionaires overnight (again, figuratively speaking). It also creates a much more real "risk" experiencing of the most unlikely runs of bad luck one can imagine.
