Default Is this normal variance?



I can't seem to get anything going in my FTP account. I play mainly $6 turbo SNG, but just dropped down to $2 until I get my issues/bad run worked out. I feel like I am playing well, the money usually goes in ahead.

I know I can play, I turned a free $5 from absolute poker into $900 within a week (without Scott Tom's help).

You gotta expect some variance if you play the lottery.

Dont get discouraged by results yet, you still don't even have 500 games.

Play within your roll at a level your confident at.
