Had such a good November and now what a [censored] start to December. I was just putting in a few hands during the little time I had to play today (got a thing tonight and gotta get some stuff done for it) and this happens. Now this is some variance.

-3.7 BI's in 675 hands:















Here are some of the bigger hands. Some lost flips and a lot of 5 outer type things...some all-in, others hit and I call a river bet:

[x] ev graphs make me want to kill myself

tl; dr

grimstarr style post: lol

you lost 3 buyins in 675 hands and went to the effort to post all those graphs and hands. LOL?

It took 5 minutes. It was pretty much the worst session I've ever had in terms of ev versus what actually happened despite the very short length of the session. Variance is in the title of this forum, is it not?


And it's funny since most of what you do on here is waste your time and effort posting in BBV.

Lobster Dog is Not Pleased.

Wait............. What?

I violently disagree.

Exhibit A: My previous post.

NOM NOM NOM

oh and ya, it's unheard of, someone running bad over 12 all ins

No it's called variance. And this is the Variance forum.


There really is no reason to post here is there. I guess if I changed all the stakes to 1000NL it would have been found entertaining.

The JJ vs 78c hand is the funniest imo.

[x] best thread of the day.

Atleast you won some sklansky dollars.

OH MY GOD YOU LOST ALMOST 4 BUYINS

beekeeper dog is here to keep beedogs from this thread

JJ vs 87 would have tilted me though.

loool, craziest dog pic ive seen.

Psycho dog wants to kill.
