Variance? After how many buyins do you decide it is not a downswing?

My stats are almost identical, and those of my opponents, too. I see the same kind of people, tbh.

Does this mean your stats are identical to your opponents, or your stats are identical on both levels and the average opponents stats are also identical to one another?

If your stats are the same as all of your opponents at 50NL, that could be the problem as these games tend to be pretty fishy.

What I meant was that my stats are identical to my stats one level lower, and those of my opponents were identical to those of my opponents one level lower.

Btw, people have been messaging me, saying they are sorry I was treated bad, and offered me counsel. I thank them very much, tho I didn't feel offended at all. I realize this is not a serious forum, and not really a forum about variance.

It isn't the first time I join a community as a total noob, where people have devoted their lives to a game/skill/w/e. I have been playing seriously for just 35 days now.

Anyway, I don't feel offended, and I appreciate the help anyway. Not like people HAVE to help me. I am thankful for ANY help I get, which I got alot.

Btw for newcomers to this forum I recommend signing up to a site with lots of videos. A lot of posts you make that don't get answered are simply in those videos, and it is just faster, if not also less frustrating.

It's variance until you have lost every cent to your name, every cent you can borrow, and mortgaged every cent you can get for the next few years....

One thing is intriguing me however. Aren't all those jokes, like, too old now?

This forum has been up since the invention of wheel. Every joke about how an expert makes fun of the losing player by saying it is probably variance, and implying it's that he sucks, must have been done 850 times at least.

Or maybe it never gets old? I don't know

7 buyins is nothing for a downswing. my daily stop loss is 20 buy ins. i've been on 100 buyin downswings before. Just keep at it and let the variance do her work.

100 buyins? I mean, swongs are one thing. . . this is something else. What steaks are we talking about nyah?

I consistently found myself in terrible situations (lots of villain draws got there, my draws almost never got there, tptk vs. set, never got reraised with a set, stuff like that).
