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

That makes no sense, and is an argument that people make that do not know what they are talking about. Would you rather play against people that are willing to call all of their stack off with an inside straight draw, or against 9 other people that play tight early and aggressive on the bubble? If your answer was option 2, just start playing the Step 5s on party cuz you will probably do real good.

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]

Then why are you playing the $10s. You should clearly be playing the $500s. That's where the good players are.

One of the biggest myth in poker is that wilder play = more variance on a SNG.
That is some serious, serious bullshiit. Variance on SNG its only affected by ROI.( im supposing winning players not some idiot who folds every hand)

I also play better against better players, in the sense that I use more of my poker skills.

But I make more money against worse players.

Take your pick.
