Yves- I agree 100%. I've spent countless hours and sleepless nights thinking about this and how sick it is. Two bad beats, here or just one bad play there, and you're going from like +200 to +1300, or something like that. All that factors so greatly into your WR it is ridiculous.I think it's amazing how much hidden luck factors play into poker. How often guys with good WRs get set over set, or aces to kings preflop and paid off, or something like that. There are so many variables nothing can be accurately counted, that's why I don't ever take winrates seriously, I always figure that there are too many factors for anyone to convince me that even 100k or 200k hands can justify who is a "better" poker player.

This is a sick thing man. A sick, sick thing.

lol, and when you play lag, everything is multiplied by five.

Ahnuld was that a shot at NL 5k, after a slight dip in the graph?? Definitely my favorite part of your graph.

what always gets me is the incredible power variance has. try something - after finishing a session, imagine results if you take two of your worst beats of the session (usually 2-3 outers) and imagine if you won them.

it turns last nights session at 2/4 from +$0 to +$2,000. WTF BLOW ME VARIANCE

Last night I entered the 80K hand break-even stretch

I'm going for 100K to challenge HEK

i'm well on my goal to winning 20000 buy ins in two weeks. i've only won 2500 buy ins so far though, so i'll have to work hard in the next day to achieve the goal.

80k breakeven at MSNL is not good

This is both fun and not fun at the same time, have you noticed that?
