Re: Something wrong?
variance in small stakes poker play is a interesting concept. i would think an online poker pro (at small stakes where there's always tons of games available) could easily average 5,000 hands per week without excessive multi-tabling. assuming that poker pro was very good, i think the odds are EXTREMELY high that said poker pro will not have a losing week. think of any given 1000 hand session. honestly, if no mistakes were made, how often would that be a losing session? very rarely. even if running bad, i think statistically speaking the bad would have to be made up over the more hands played, again assuming no mistakes. i think "variance" often is a cover for mistakes made. humans probably cycle between fair, good, and excellent play. the key concept is to constantly strive for no (or limited) mistakes. i really don't know anybody who can say they lose and who can also honestly say they make very few mistakes....
