Default stupid variance

In the last 5000 hands:

BB/100: -4.19
Went to SD: 36.19
Won $ at SD: 46.32!

All my other stats are good (or at least decent). Oh well. Its not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. That's poker. Just venting a little, I guess. Thanks for listening.

This is probably cold comfort at the moment, but don't forget that variance is really your friend. He just has weird ways of showing it sometimes.

If you are a 2bb/100 winner, then look forward to the time you go 5000 hands at 6.19bb/100

Hang in there. Things will turn around, they always do [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (if you are a proven winner)

variance is a mother, I'm in the middle of its downside right now and all I can do is try to ride out the storm. (an example: I've hit 4 sets, two of them losers out of the past 96 pocket pairs...aint that somethin for ya)

That's always nice when you aren't hitting your share of trips and then when you do they cost ya.

Variance is what keeps the fish in the game. No variance, they would lose constantly, and leave.
