I've been breaking even for on PS for a while...

Its possible I have some major leaks I need to fix...
Its possible I've been running bad....
Its also highly possible that I suck....

Anyone think the variance is higher in the lower buy-ins?

(that would comfort me)

No. But the good news is that your avatar has an excellent rack.

I won the first $55 I ever played and since then I have played 1200 at 7% ROI, including a couple 300+ -ROI patches. So you got that to look forward to! Unless you are a super SnG'er like some people in this forum.

Some VERY well respected 2+2ers will tell you that almost nobody is profitable over the long run. So, if profitablility is your goal and are fortunate enough to get there, quit.

.... Or keep playing, tight early and push/fold on the bubble. Your choice.

There it is! The first comment on my avatar. I was wondering how long it would take! HELLO she is HOT!

Anyways...I don't play a lot - so these 300+ SnGs downswings/break even streaks could easily take me a couple months to play out.

So I try to take comfort in my latest break even streak of two months (would have to look up tourney #s...behind on my PT database.) ..because I've probably played only a couple hundred at the absolute most.

Variance swings last longer (duration of time) on players like me though 'cuz of my in-frequent play. That and I'm not as good as many of the posters here.

That's just plain ol' Carmen Electra right? She's only been the hottest piece of ass on the planet since most of y'all were in like first grade. Now, Bones' Vida 2.0, that's some [censored].
