Major Problem with Bill Chin's Article on Variance

More flim-flam. More pseudo-science.

You're confusing playing poker with measuring variance and predicting the peaks and valleys of a bankroll. These are two very different things. There is "feel" in playing NLHE. There is no "feel" to measuring and predicting variance.

There is a degree of luck involved in poker over the "short term." This degree of luck cannot be overcome by expert play, nor by "feel", nor by experience. It is constant. Experience can give one an edge over a less experienced opponent, but not over a random event like which of 47 remaining cards will fall next. This means there is a hard limit to the edge a player, even a world class player, can have over the "short term." Witness the poor play that is often rewarded on TV poker.

With as much text as you're written in this thread, you still have yet to provide any theoretical proof or real-word evidence (with more than a sample size of 200) for any of your claims about variance in Poker.
