Another flopped set. Turn push?

thanks for the replies everyone. i have a side question. i'm now down 6 buy-ins over my last 1500 hands and it's been absolutely brutal. i've lost my stack with about 80% of the sets i've hit. is that kind of variance acceptable for a winning player?

Ugh that sucks. Tighten up a little if you want, but I think part of improving your game is improving your level of aggression which results in more variance. Your hand above is a great example. Pushing that hand is a must in my mind. Shiiiite happens, take a break, switch sites, move down, whatever... The only thing to regret is if you're tilting money off, in which case you need to get your act together before playing again.

Me too.

Quit yer bitchin & get back to work.

(Of course, I suck at poker, so maybe you should re-evaluate the turn.)
