baltostar, at one point you recommended that someone take an intro probability course
as I have taken an intro probability course, can you explain to me what 'better quality variance' is?

On the avg hand risk distribution curve, if your strategy involves adding variance to move your mean to the right (because right-skew comes along with the variance), then better quality variance is an achievable shape that better improves your mean.

I think that the flood of similar-styled players is causing the tails to get too long and fat and is reducing the amount of skew. I think that if you avoid pursuing lines that tend to scale to allin in the most marginal perceived cEV+ scenarios that you can slim-down the tails and get back some of the skew.

I dont know what the 'avg hand risk distribution curve' is, but ignoring that, I can't tell whether you think that adding variance to move your mean to the right (presumably you're talking about increasing profit here) is a good or bad strategy. To clarify, it is in fact a good strategy. I also don't know what 'an achievable shape' means, so I dont know whether you think added variance that adds to your expected profit counts as better quality variance or not.

basically I have no idea wtf you're talking about, shocker.

also adanthar, your steps suck. most people who win money at poker are terrible at giving advice (and terrible at poker)
