For those that hate variance

Variance Example: In the picture notice the win at showdown at 46.94%. If an average is 53% that is only a 9 hand difference in winning at showdown. This does not count folding on the flop, turn, tilt, and other factors. But consider that just those 9 hands at $48 a hand at the 3/6 level as a net loss at the river is $432. Not that far off from the total loss of this example.

So take comfort that even though your bad luck seems like an eternal curse, its not that bad over a few thousand hands. Does not take much to suck the profit out of poker.
