"Variance happens...."

[BallinBruha]

Hi, I am the person who apparently "doesnt take the game seriously" and said "variance happens yes, but you can avoid losses by playing good poker." First of all I do take the game seriously and 2nd of all what i meant was that by playing good poker during times of variance you can LIMIT your losses. By limit I mean instead of losing 100 on a hand you can lose 10. Poker has upswings and downswings and I realize this, and I believe that by playing good poker in NO LIMIT, you can save yourself a ton of money, whereas by playing stupid poker during times of variance will cost you a lot of money. An example of this would be on this hand. Suppose you are 2 off the button with KK and the blinds are .10/.25, you raise 1.25 preflop, and then the flop comes Ad, Ah,Qh, the player before you bets a dollar. If you were playing stupid poker you would call this bet and cost yourself more money. By folding you would save yourself money. This is actually the dumbest post I have ever read and if i recall during our AOL instant message conversation I corrected myself and said LIMIT instead of Avoid after the fact.
