Can Anyone Answer This?

I play limit Hold'em. My hourly Standard deviation is less than 8 big bets. What does it mean that my hourly standard deviation drops (to about 7 big bets/hr.) whenever I'm running bad and throughout a losing streak? This seems weird. I would think it should rise, since I'm experiencing results which are not normal (i.e. losing). On the other hand, maybe it makes sense, since I have a low standard deviation anyway and am able to fight off or at least cut big losses. But I would think that any time you experience results which are not outside the norm (for me, losing), standard deviation would rise.


btw- I AM a winning player. Trust me on that. At least + 1sb/hr. probably a little higher. Thanks for any input.
