I don't get it. It's sure not a beat, and I can't see it being a brag.

I changed it, i call the all-in after flop, it should make sense now.

sorry, first time using hand coverter, so didn't make sure it was in the right format.

Ohhh, ok, I get it now. At first I was like WTF? I don't understand why people say limit variance &gt;&gt;&gt; no limit variance. I don't lose my stack when someone runner-runners my set.

It's because in limit, your wins are much MUCH smaller.
