Sweet. Merciful. Jesus. Is this trend really going to continue? When is it no longer "just variance"? 2k? 5k? 10k? I don't know if I could survive a 1950 BB "downswing", regardless of the fact that I don't have 1950BB or play high enough where I could go down to lose that many.

-1950 bb is not variance, it's a winrate.

There are no words, phrases, or otherwise in the English language that can respond appropriately to that so...

Well, lets see....played at commerce for 2 hours today.

Lost KK to KTc on J75r flop (3 bets on 7c turn to ensure I lose the max). Lost AA to 52 on KT2 flop. Lost A5c to 63c on 2c4c8s flop (push push push 6 to ensure that I lost the max). Lost AK to AJ on AQJ flop (lost min. on that one). Lost 55 to A5 and A9 on AJ5 flop. (A9 rivered flush, but me and A5 pushed and pushed, to ensure I lose the maximum).

I misplayed a hand where I didn't bet the river when the worst possible card came (thus costing me a bet). Other than that...meh. You'll have a tough time convincing me it's bad play.

1950 Bee Bees?!?

How are you still playing? How many will it take to break your confidence?

That number is ridiculous. Either you're actually losing, lying, or hit the lottery for bad luck. The anti-derb.

No more are you Josh W. You're now henceforth the anti-derb.
