Re: MONSTER variance (w/ graphs)

I think a lot of the swings you guys experience are perpetuated by the fact you both play super long sessions and try to "play your way through them," when really, it's just simply tougher to win when you're running bad because opponents pick up on it and attack you and play you more 'correctly.' Cutting sessions short IMO cuts back on the potential likelihood for 1000BB downswings.
Knock on wood but I've yet to experience a downswing over 330BBs, and have only had 2 300BB downswings in my life.

I've seen you say this a few times and while I feel there is truth in what you say, I cannot bring myself to leave a game with bad players and I think it would be counterproductive to do so.
Now, given that I see you play in what I consider terrible games all the time where your EV cannot be large at all, even with your superior skills, it would most certainly be best to leave when losing and stay when winning to exploit the tilt of your opponents (as you often say you do).
Your game obviously works and I envy your lack of large swings, maybe I'll emulate your methodology a bit and see what happens.
