Hi guys, new poster, theoretical question

[SlackerMcFly]

Welcome to the gang, Wonder.

To answer simply:

1. Any player regardless of skill can expect success due to variance.

2. Any player can expect variance of the negative kind.

3. Negative variance lasts longer.

4. Positive variance is the nutz.

If you play to variance, you will always lose money. If you ignore variance and play correctly, there is no reason to either fear or rely on "luck" that is variance.

BTW, it doesn't matter what buy-in level we discuss, it's all the same when it comes to the Big V....

Good luck at the tables. Please post responsibly.
