Default Re: Big Loss in One Session

[ QUOTE ]
50 Big Bets is a very large loss in a single live session.

Actually, no, it really isn't. But it can be daunting if you haven't done it that much or if you're used to leaving after losing 30BBs(per annie duke rule). It is a pain threshold, actually. Took me awhile to get used to it.

But isn't it easier for a good player to have a bigger win rate and lower variance live?

[/ QUOTE ]

The bigger the win rate comes with a higher variance level. Which also comes with aggression. It took me awhile to actually grasp that.

Game texture also comes into play. You'll have lower variance in a tighter game than a looser one. The more people see the flop, the higher your winrate will be, but your swings will be bigger.
