praying to the variance gods
So after dropping a few buy-ins yesterday when getting money in good, I decided to pray at my variance altar.
I lit a few candles. Sacrificed my favorite copy of HEPFAP. Gave myself a paper cut w/ the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. And threw a salt shaker at my monitor. Well, after that, I found out I got my rb of the month a few days early. Score. It must be working. Then came this hand: Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $1/$2 6 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $105.55 UTG+1: $199.10 keikiwai: $195 Button: $100.10 SB: $365.25 BB: $241.90 Pre-flop: (6 players) keikiwai is CO with 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">keikiwai raises to $8</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises all-in $100.1</font>, 2 folds, keikiwai calls. Flop: ($203.2, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $203.2) Turn: ($203.2, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $203.2) River: ($203.2, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $203.2) Results: Final pot: $203.2 <font color="#">keikiwai showed A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]</font> <font color="#">Button showed K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]</font> OMG WTF AGAIN!!!!!

Re: praying to the variance gods
You won half as much today as I lost yesterday; thankfully I rebounded with a huge 2500 hand, $11 day today.
Teach me your variance ritual. |

Re: praying to the variance gods
I find that you should give yourself a papercut with your favorite card in the deck, not the ace of spades (unless that is the your favorite card [which makes you a loser]).
I strongly prefer the king of clubs. |
