Re: Does a decreased winrate have an exponential effect on variance?
[ QUOTE ]
It does not take many hands lost to affect your win rate. When you win you win what the other players put into the pot and you KEEP you what put into the pot. Your share is not won money. When you lose you lose the money you should have won from other players and your money. So you lose more than you win when you lose.

LOL. that has to be the funniest thing ive ever read on 2p2. ever.
just to clarify so people dont listen to this:
in a 4 bet capped internet game, what is the most you can lose in 1 hand? 12bbs
what is the most you can possibly win (net) in 1 hand? 108bbs.
on average, when you win, you win way more than you lose when you lose.
what OP was trying to get at is that when you lose, you lose the bets you put in + the bets you would have won from the opponents had you won. but OP doesn't take it the OTHER way. i.e. when you win, the swing could be just as large b/c had you lost, you'd lose all the bets you won + the bets you got to "keep" from your stack.
silliest logic ever by OP.
