Re: ***August Low-Content Thread***
[ QUOTE ]
How often does this happen to you guys? My last three sessions are like identical triplets. I sit down and within two 3-tabling orbits I'm down one to one and a half buyins based on one donk hand and several sucker or quartering hands. I then continue to dwindle for anywhere from one to two more hours, ending down between one plus and almost three buyins, then in the last half hour I've just cured the monkeytilt, get dealt all the good cards that were missing for three hours, and end up getting anywhere from 2/3 to more than all of it back. Bottom line I'm down half a buyin for the three days... If I showed a graph of the bankroll for each session it would literally look like three fraternal stock indexes tracking oh so close to each other. With such high variance this seems beyond improbable. Just curious if this sounds at all familiar. [/ QUOTE ] Imo theres actually less variance in NLO8 or PLO8 than in other forms of poker since with the pot often being split or quartered, you're not going to get stacked as much. Of course theres still variance though, which is what you're going through. Hard to quantify how often it happens to me though. If you're sure you're still playing well then i wouldn't worry too much about it. |

Re: ***August Low-Content Thread***
