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.

Agreed. Variance affects a lot more than we can imagine.

This really made me chuckle. But now that I think about I've got like 30k at 1/2, 100k at 2/4 and like 55k at 3/6 so i better hurry up and get the f out of here.

although i did get some potentially awesome news today about a poker holiday, which could be awesome, so my faith in the poker gods are still intact.

Was ratholing the 2-4 game three or four days ago. Doubled up when his 99 busted my jacks all in preflop. I said something to the tune of "whatever fish at least you were short stacked." And he said something back like, "My bankroll is bigger than yours" or something. Was at like three of my tables for a minute. Effectively makes the game 5 handed.
