I'm so happy I get to vent here. I am getting so tired of almost running good and just keep getting shut down by 3 outers. I get my money in so good so often, yet keep getting sucked out on. So all-in equity means nothing? Ok, I am losing more than I should with sets. I know lifetime I am close to 70% and I am winning at a 66% clip. 100k hands, 4% is a big deal. I can't think of any way that I can say "Ok I'm doing good in this area." This month has been just complete hell, in all senses. I feel really good about my play simply because I am actually up for the month. Good riddance mother [censored] November.

800k hands of running above expectation with sets this yr means I might be in for a rude awakening.

[/ QUOTE ]

you are likely never going to run at expectation on all things at the same time, even if running at expectation overall

ie hot on sets, cold on flushes/AA etc

something like simply getting favorable turn cards can really help and it nearly impossible to quantify(note I'm not necessarily even talking about stuff like turning TP, sets, simply getting good bluff cards, or cards that hit your opponent but not as good as you, or draws missing when you want them too, hitting when you want)

none of that is quantifiable
