OT: Not a BadBeat Post; Just "WTF"

[skipperbob]

My typical month is 20 - 22 winning days (all small) with 3 - 5 big losers to end up a loser for the month, or maybe a very small winner????...similarly, I'll have several 0 for 7 runs, but never a 7-in-a-row ITM streak [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Any Comments?

Variance works both ways.
Congrats.

Why you continue to be a favorite of people on this board is beyond me. That's my only comment.

Yes. If your ITM is 40%, say, then your losing streaks will be longer and deeper than your winning streaks. At 50%, you would expect them to be equal.

You make money by grinding out enough relatively small winning days to offset the occasional big loser. Or don't make money, in your case [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Since the average player has a 30% chance to finish ITM and a 70% to finish OTM, it's much more probable to finish 7 OTM in a row than 7 ITM in a row.

My best ITM streak is 5 and worst OTM is 8. (This is single-tabling and since I recently started multi-tabling I suspect my OTM record will be broken relatively soon.)

Are you kidding me?
If anyone should have their name highlighted in color, it should be this dildo.

In a Trout tournament, Skipper taught me that getting it folded around to you in the BB is not a "free pass," but a "walk." Since then I've been just about the coolest thing since sliced bread at my homes games... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Have you tried dropping down a level, or even 2 levels, for a while? I did that once and then, later, gradually returned to the higher level successfully...and continued advancing from there. Have a nice weekend! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
