Re: Big Loss in One Session

The bigger the win rate comes with a higher variance level. Which also comes with aggression. It took me awhile to actually grasp that.

We're talking about two different things here. Increasing your winrate does not increase your variance. If your winrate increases due to a more aggressive strategy, yes, your variance will naturally increase. So I'm not disagreeing with that. But I was talking about having a larger edge due to being able to read your opponents better. I believe this is much easier in live games, unless you have little to no skill at reading your opponents and/or are extremely readable yourself. Personally, I find it much easier to manipulate my opponents, avoid paying off with a second best hand, and value bet with a marginal hand that I know is good. Overall, this is a much lower variance strategy, as everything is based on a stronger read. I also find people raise you with air less in live games than they do online. Some people get embarassed by 'getting caught'. It's the same reason people talk more crap online. People get upset in live games, but not quite the same way.
