Default Re: MONSTER variance (w/ graphs)

Not to say I don't run good or whatever cuz people can go ahead and think I do if they want, but even though these guys all play more hands than me in the last 12 month stretch, I've been playing online as my job for about 4 years now... Over these 4 years, I've amassed a lot of hands myself too. Plus my first few years I was much better about playing a lot of hands, so I feel like I have a fairly large sample size to speak from too, even if some of the game textures were a little different than what the games I presently play in are like.

I will maintain till the end of time that these 1000BB swings are perpetuated by people trying to play through them. It's pretty much irrefutable IMO. I'm not saying they're not running bad, cuz surely they are. But, they're definitely tacking on several hundreds of extra BBs by continuing to play with the frequency they play when a session is turning into a nice loser.
