I'm pretty sure my post was quite clear...but I'm sorry if it wasn't. If you can't handle very very good variance, then when you hit IT, you likely won't be able to cope at all.

You seem incredibly clueless as to how many SNGs I've played in my life and you're jumping to retarded conclusions.




Last week I dropped $1080 in 50 tourneys at the $55s, winning two times.

The next day I dropped to the $33s, winning $350 in the morning, and then losing $1000 in the afternoon.

Is losing $1700 in two days good enough for you?

No. The fact that this is your 'evidence' for proving how retarded I am actually bolsters my prediction. You're right I don't know how many STTs you've played but I've read *many* of your posts. This is also why I not only don't mind but expect the 'retarted' comment.

I don't really care whether you end up hitting IT and/or quitting....I'm just letting you know that your current mindset will make it exceedlingly difficult to deal with.

So you're saying "bad variance" isn't until you lose your entire bankroll? Playing SNG's???

Care to explain? Up 15 buyins in 20 games is a very nice heater. And he comes here bitching about losing a single pot.

You can't win em all, and it shouldn't hurt when you lose one. Especially when he's on a run like that.

I'm with sponger on this one (never happy), but for different reasons.

I'm almost never satisfied with my play. Even if a go a whole afternoon only making two or three mistakes (almost never happens), I'm still pissed at myself for those mistakes.

Fine.... pretend you never read my first post....

Yesterday I played like 40 SNGs and finished down $21. Afterwards, I couldn't stop thinking about silly little hands like busting on bubble as a huge favorite in a 4500 chip pot. Does anyone else feel this way after playing?

Apparently a lot of people do.

Unless I win every SNG. I'm not happy. I'm up about 15 buyins in 20 tourneys today and I'm still dissapointed.

Is there a part of the first post where you say you hate it when you run bad?

Default Re: Never happy

This posts hits on a problem that is very real with poker professionals and poker players in general. The structure of the game itself with different limits, etc. leads to the fact that many players can never truly be happy.

I had a conversation with Michael Mizrachi once and his feels where that when you've won 1000 you want 5000, when you've won 5 you want 10, when you've won 10, you want 100, when you've won 100 you want a million, one million leads to 5, 5 leads to 25, and you are never satisfied.

Think about it. Players are never satisifed.
