A slightly better session than recent ones, 8 games goin 5-3 to me.
1st loss is in clinic pretty sure it's standard. 2nd 6bb shove w/K5 at 100/200 called by big stack (18bbs) w/AQ, I snap fold there but no way you making a random fold lol. 3rd yet another real sickener, K10 5bb at 200/400, I'm level with another stack but don't want blinds passing and getting super short and I still present a threat to other stacks, sadly the guy comfortable with 6bb didn't see it that way and snapped w/A2, sigh.
Glad to have made some sort of profit and tbh if I have this same session everyday till Jan I'll take it but as always in life you always want more .
TEN and im not playing stupid poker just not wining flips or being called by the worst and loosing GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Posted by wenelinho
This is the nature of the beast sometimes in DYMs. Sometimes you will literally play perfect DYM poker and still go through periods of losing game after game. I dunno who decided they were low varianc, they are once you play ALOT but shortterm they are swongy.
hi Carl,just a quickie.keep it going buddy,sure you,ll keep climbing up the levels. i think you and i are both on the same path at the moment,aren,t we! be interesting to compare how we both do, not that it,s a competition mind! good luck buddy,see you at the tables,no doubt
Yeah run good is soooo warm and fuzzy it's like waking up and reasling it's snowing on Christmas day , anyway 9 games going 8-1 to me makes up for the the previous few days and some !
1st and only exit also another bad beat, QQ 10bb shove at 75/150 after limp, safe medium stack in BB snaps with A8 and hits, good for him .
Well apart from that it's looking very bright all of a sudden as I once again reach my highest peak since starting .
Almost 63% cash rate is pretty insane and will obvz even out over time but for now I'll settle for it lol
Defo think Ranny is right on the old variance, very tough sesh tonight, 11 games going 7-4 against me.
1st exit 6bb shove w/Q5 in SB vs safe stack w/12bb calls w/A5, at least let me be live...., 2nd one where the big stack gets to overlod status and other 3 stacks are jst clinging on, I was 2nd shortest so shoved over limp w/AQ called obvz and J8 wins, those suck so bad cant tell ya. 3rd JJ shortest stack at 100/200 w/6bbs guy open shoves I auto call he has AQ and wins flip all be it one where I'm 57% fave. 4th yet again KJ is my nemesis as a guy open limps w/16bbs and snaps my exact same stack shove, AQ loses, sigh. 5th a weird one 1st level, MR followed by flat I have QQ in SB and shove I lose but won't reveal hand as it's in clinic. 6th JJ but won't reveal result as yet again in clinic. 7th just a sec ago short stack 4 handed shove J10 UTG 7bb at 75/150 snap called by other shorty w/same stack and A9 I fold but now way yow maken dem do same lol.
Back down again but mid £80's is still decent, was fairly confident I wouldn't get two good sesh's in a row, not that easy. Also cash percentage nicely knocked down, good stuff.
Another mind-blowingly frustrating session, one thing I am noticing though is the way I tlt is simply playing more games, if I win say 5 in a row at the start I pack up shop but when the brown stuff hits the fan I have a real plow, 15 going 8-7 to me for small loss.
1st a pretty crazy one 88 at 75/150 w/1350 shove over big stack station wen joint shorty, SB flats so does limper they both have AA I miss lol. 2nd once again JJ v AQ this time BvB I open shove he snaps and hits, really gotta win one of dem soon. 3rd standard steal K2 5bbs at 200/400 run into 10's. 4th once again poor/right call prevails J7 shove BvB safe stack A5o snaps, sigh. 5th UTG and short stack KJ auto shove, safe stack once again makes poor/right call w/AJ and yet again sigh. 6th 10's w/5bbs at 100/200 shove over MR micro stack shoves also w/AK MRer has AQ and kills us both lol. 7th another steal gone wrong Q8 w/4bbs at 150/300 walk into AK could be worse.
Pretty much break even so no worries, good that volume has increased just need a drop of run good now and it'll be all rosy again.

Win rate at about 60% will make you only a small profit in these, so I would have to agree that to make money at these at that win rate, you would have to multitable.
Still going well though mate, keep it going. What BR are you trying for to move up to the next level?
Aiming for £121 to have my first shot at £5.50 which is £38.25 away but counting in next months C4P it's £23.25 so essentially 9 straights wins lol, but seriously it's all about finsishing this month in profit first then see where I stand, as these things can be so swingy I could easily win 6 in a row tonight but now I've said that I'm probably doomed.....
so when does variance just become plain bad luck 11 losses in a row blinds 150/300 stack size 1700 99 in the BB min raise UTG i shove he calls pocket kings. should i of folded? 5 handed at this late stage
Jee whiz, really annoying sesh, again one where everytime I was about properly to get going and power on I lost a game, winning one but jesus a frustarting one.
1st exit in clinic. 2nd the start of the run bad, guy gets down to 85 chips but gets back to level stack with me and calls my BvB AI w/K4 w/4bbs at 200/400, I had Q6, so sick after almost killing him, sigh. 3rd in clinic. Final just about finished me off, QQ 10bbs at 75/150 call AI he has AK obvz lol flop QJ3 he wins by river...
Profit sesh so can't complain but just dying for one of these edges to go my...
Short session this morning, 6 games going 5-1 to me taking me to my peak once again.
Only exit AKs w/18bbs at 50/100, same size stack makes it 3x, I snap shove he snap calls w/77, I miss.
Gotta love these games you play 20 odd and grind a 6 quid profit and then play 6 for £10 profit lol. Anyway, at the same stage I was a few days ago (high 90's), that time I bombed down to 70 odd this time I hope it goes the other way, 2 big profit sesh's still alude me....

Variance is basically just another word poker players use for luck, whether it be good or bad.
Sometimes you will shove 99, get called by JJ, now in this situation you have a 20% of winning so you will win 1 out of 5 times. But sometimes this will happen 5 times in a night and you'll win 3 of them, other times it could happen 10 times and you win 0. Long term if it happens 1 million times, it will even out.
The only thing to be weary of is that sometimes bad players say 'oh it's no big deal I'm losing, it's just negative variance' when actually it's more likely it's just bad play. So the best thing is to post some of your hands in the clinic and if peope keep saying 'you played it fine, unlucky' then it's probably variance. On the other hand, if people keep correcting mistakes you're making, take them on board because it's probably bad play.
