Is it just me, or has anyone else experienced a greater than normal negative side of variance over the past month?

Me too. Between the two of us some 2+2ers must be cleaning up, you know to balance out the universe...

Seriously what is the point of this post? Variance is a way of life in MTTs and you are frequently going to be on the ass end of it. Get used to it and don't post stuff like this in the future.

How about you suck my donk?

I recall many posts about a year ago when tons of 2+2ers were on downswings... I was wondering if this seems to be an annual thing and if anyone else was going through big downswings.

By the way, more sample than your lousy few months of playing. This past month has been my worst ever... down over $1K, and I'm a low buyin type.

dude it is variance what reply do u expect?

Re: Influx of donks?
 

mikey,

I've tracked variance over the last 2+ years... this is no where near the numbers I've ever seen, yet I've been playing a decent game. I was wondering if anyone has seen greater than normal negative variance at this time of year, such as the big downswings 12 months ago.

So you basically want someone to tell you that they lose a lot too so you'll be happy? Just work on your game. Donks are a good thing, don't forget that.

Re: Influx of donks?
 

Sorry if I came off as too condescending but seriously consider your post and what if does (or doesn't) offer.

On a forum this size of course there are going to be a lot of people that are on significant downswings. If you are suggesting that it is some kind of cycle it becomes even more ridiculous.

And I don't want to here u going off about my sample size of "a few months of playing" when you honestly have no idea how long I've been playing.

This post offers nothing constructive to the MTT forum and would fit better in BB&V as it has nothing specific to MTTs.

Once again sorry if I come off as a jerk but I don't know any other way to respond.

Re: Influx of donks?
 

In january I only cashed in one tournament on pokerstars... ONE tournament, and I played almost every night. It was a bad month, you'll rebound, don't worry.

Re: Influx of donks?
 

This should be moved to the BBV forum.

If you can't beat them, you are one.

Re: Influx of donks?
 

Hahaha....

Re: Influx of donks?
 

Yes, there was an article in this month's issue of "Donkey Times" that got us all interested in MTT's.

I looked the dame up and down; she was a looker, and lookers meant trouble. I wasn't one to complain, though. Business was slow and trouble was my business. Before I could even say a word, she was at my desk, Polariod in hand. She cut right to the chase.

"I need you to track down this guy, and I hear you're the best private dick in town," she said, handing me the photo. "His name's Variance, he's robbed my husband blind. If you can find him, there's a cool two hundred grand in it for you."

Before I could even tell the bird she was loony, she had dashed out the door. I glanced at the picture she'd left me. Blank. It figured -- just another daffy broad making up stories about those phantoms that ruined her life. I slumped back in my chair and took a pull from my trusty fifth of Seagram's; it was going to be a long week.

OK I got nothing, but I find the idea of some 30s era private detective tracking variance comical.

I have not had a FT since October (save about 5 20/180s) so dont feel bad - embrace the variance. Learn to relish it. It only makes the POSITIVE variance, that much sweeter!

I was just trying to inject some humor but yes, I too have been doing poorly. It seems either I get donked or I get outplayed. It's frustrating to get donked but I feel much worse when I get outplayed.

What is a 20/180s?

Re: Influx of donks?
 

I was down 3.5k on the year until last week

then I won 40,000 over the past 7 days

just to... you know... make you feel better.
