\"Am I a loser?\" posts
People are making posts all the time saying "I am 15 OOTM" or "I am down 40 buy-ins". They ask "is this normal?" or "is this possible."
Invariably, someone responds explaining that a 40 buy in drop is "nothing" and proclaims "I have dropped 50 buy-ins and been 22 OOTM". Something is wrong here. Obviously, it is possible to be any # OOTM. Anything is possible. People win the lotto. Someone is born the tallest person of all time. However, these things are all unlikely in the short run of things. People who 8 table 40 hours a week are going to see some very strange occurences from the outer reaches of what anyone thought was possible. I'm playing omaha/8 right now. I just flopped a made nut low at three different tables with an A3 at the exact same time. At all three tables the turn was a 6 and an 8 and a 2 were present on the final board. These things aren't typical or normal. When someone is asking "is this normal?" the answer is "over a long period of time, this would likely occur."

[/ QUOTE ] This is basically what people are saying when they say, "its just variance." These things happen, and for many here who are 4, 8, and 12+ tabling, these things happen far more frequently. Sure, the average 1-tabler shouldn't experience these things very often, but they still will over a lifetime of play.
