its not bad in the sense that you have better chance in longhaul maybe. but it seems like its becoming more of a crapshoot when you have people calling allins with nothing but high cards to outdraw you on later streets. you mine as well go an play roulette or blackjack

how did you ever win money with this type of attitude? I LOVE when people call an all-in when I'm a 70-30 favorite

i love when they call me too but it seems lately they are hitting more frequently an more people are calling in these situations

just a bit of variance... Playing poker, after all, is a game of chance... all you can do when you lose like this, is be happy with the fact that you got your money in when you had the best of it, and move on. When luck swings your way, just pray that these people are still around and still calling off their stack when they have the worst of it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I doubt it's all variance. Perhaps you've developed leaks and you aren't even aware of them? Maybe your play has changed a bit thanks to a losing streak?

agreed, variance is a minor part of poker. It takes its forms in days and even weeks but good play will always compensate for variance
