how easy is it to lose 40k in 50- 100 heads up?

over a couple weeks time, playing about 5 or 6 hours a day, how hard is it hard to lose 40k playing against an agressive player?

not very hard if you suck.

ok, what if you are a pro, and have won a lot of money playing heads up?

What's the point of this thread? You either lost yourself or watched someone, both lame.

just want to know the probability of that happening.. i would appreciate it if i could get replies from people that actually know about fluctuations and probability. that is the point of it, thank you.

Probability has no bearing here. Probability factors into each hand but not the outcome of several hundred. It all depends on the skill level and aggression factor of the players. In HU the better player will win in the long run and if he/she has a good run of cards it will be a quick one.

thanks for the first poster actually trying to answer my question!! ok, not probability, i just meant fluctuations. say you are both around the same skill level and played for 12 days, about 5 hours a day (not sure how many hands that is). seems the person was extremely unlucky. how likely is that to happen?

If the players are of the exact same skill level and exact same agression level then the losing player lost due to variance. There is no probability or odds of when a downswing will hit and how long it will last. The only certainty is they WILL occur.
