The toughness of games at absolute
I posted this here in MHSH because it seems a lot people who frequent this forum play at absolute.
I've put in a little under 30k hands there in the past month, 5/10 - 15/30 and am down about $2k for my efforts after this time. In my opinion, I'm running a little bad, but this is the worst 30k stretch I've ever experienced, and I believe it is due to the smaller (if positive at all)expectation I have in these games. In my opinion, the games are often super tough. Would you agree with me on this? How would you compare these games to those at other sites? If anyone is willing to discuss there results at absolute I'd be interested to hear that as well. Here's me baring my soul: |

The absolute games are pretty tough. There are usually a few SH prop sharks. I would stay away from them.

Kurosh doesn't fold. Doesn't mean the games aren't tough.

I don't think losing 100BB is all that hard. I play a lower variance style and still have these types of swings in both directions close to daily. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I guess I phrased what I meant wrong. I meant that this could easily happen do to simple variance, and that tilting is probably not the reason for a drastic drop like that. |
