The only weird thing about his posts I see is how he kept saying how many players were making such frequent ICM mistakes, also having never studied poker himself but just being some kind of savant feel player. His results are undeniable but the expert claims with no study remind me of myself a decade ago when I thought I was running bad and didnt understand variance and ICM. So I used google and that's when I met good ol' Monteroy, Thrash370 among others. I had no idea forums, software, training existed until like 2010.
I have been having a hell of a time with the deck and can relate to a lot of whats said here that Matt said in the post above this one. Ive been running so bad for the last 4/5 days ~350 games (small sample I know) that I had to go get beers to even finish my session last night. I lost 10 bi's n an hr to start, my head was spinning. Wound up ahead 3 bi's but its just painful. I hope it turns soon, according to math and logic it should anytime now. I see the wild beats and runouts all over the place not just hands Im in. Maybe I'm not as good as I think I am but my results should be MUCH better. Im getting sick of 3b jamming my AA level 1 and getting snapped off by 1 player with random ATC and AA maybe winning 20% of the time, its just gross. Same thing with premium hands hu, and dont get me started on the bubbles haha. I am persistent and have no other options so I won't quit but i fear others will. I also seem to remember that every time they make major updates the rng goes off the rails for a few days, maybe coincidence.
edit - I will say that my play last night was less than optimal, like if I had a backer and hh's were available and I sent them I'd have some explaining to do. I was seeing ghosts of bad beats past and punting a bit. After I got a bit of a buzz I started playing right and made 8 bi's in 2hrs and stopped.
I hear ya, its definately possibly variance, like I said, its possible im wrong about the RNG, but I think its a fair question.
Anyways, the same night where i had over 10 bad beats in over 4 hours of play, the final one that broke the straw and made me sick to my stomach was this hand.
I have AJs diamonds, raise 3x pre flop, oppenent calls with 10 7o, flop comes Jc/10d/4d, flop top pair with nut flush draw, oppenent shoves low chip stack i call, oppenent shows bottom pair, turn is a 7d, i hit the nut flush oppenent hits two pair, river is a 10, i was so SICK TO MY STOMACH, by the way, this one just one of them after all of the rest of the bad beats i was experiencing, at this point i tilted the 30$ left in my account
