Default Professional Rakeback Whore

Alternate titles include:

1) "The better I get at poker the worse I run."
2) "I have apparently learned nothing since I starteted playing poker 11 months ago."
3) "Good things don't happen."

There is no particular progression to the limits. The 5/10 and 10/20 are more or less equally mixed, while there are maybe 20k hands of 3/6 in the last quarter and maybe 10k at the beginning.

Tourist attractions may include the giant plummet where I ran at 53% WTSD 49% W$ASD for well over 40k hands. I am a lifetime winner at 10/20 over 65k hands, and a lifetime loser at all other limits. Late August will be the anniversary of when I switched to poker full-time and baring any severe disasters ("breakeven" is fine) I will have cashed out a rather fair salary of around 70k, and will have done so working 25-30 hour weeks.

I remember playing with you at crypto about 7-8 months ago and I thought you played well. Sorry to see you are having so much trouble.

I don't mean anything sinister by this, but when does it become not variance? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] I guess it doesn't matter since you're still making decent money, but that graph is really scary.
