Default Re: what to make of a huge loss


yeah, taking a huge dip at 2/4 feels like crap, especially because the winners actually start playing worse against you, yet still manage to take all your money. But with a 2.5 BB expectation, you are probably looking at about a 30 hr standard deviation, which means you can go as bad as 700 dollars or so. And this streak can last for over 400 hours.

By the way, we are on a poker bubble, just ask all of the props in Southern California who all of a sudden lost their jobs. A few are keeping their old- timers on, because they will need the props when the bubble does burst. Then we all can get jobs as props, or go broke.
