IMO pretty fked up someone who has "VERIFIED COACH" under his name makes an ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED thread. He should have that "VERIFIED COACH" removed just because of this thread IMO

I don't think he ever suggested it was rigged, just that he was running like ass.

Funny. I guess I'm incapable of coaching b/c i've whined about running bad after 3 months. I definitely should have this title stripped from me. You've shown me the light , I'll ask the mods to remove my title.

change your city name to some weird German city name and your run bad problems will be solved. just change it back when you cashout and deal with running bad "ie normal" for a day or two.

Pretty much, yeah. If your reaction to standard variance (and you're not even running that bad) is to plead for sympathy and contemplate quitting, then your approach to the game is fundamentally ******ed and you really do have no business coaching anyone. Success in those games is about as difficult as tying your shoes, and the only reason the games aren't jam packed all the time with 95% regulars is solely because of the effect of variance. It is THE defining characteristic that distinguishes it from other, lower paying but likely more difficult jobs and I don't even know why you need someone to point this out to you.

Yeah , I'm #6 on the leaderboards and have over 23k games played b/c my attitude sucks , I can't deal with variance , and I excuse all my poor play as just bad luck.

You ppl are funny.

And yeah , this runbad is just so standard , so standard that I hadn't experienced anything like it in the 18 000 games prior to this.

My approach to the game is fundamentally ******ed ... god you're such a douche.

You are one of the best players at this level and the person I hate being on my left the most. Just remember how much equity they keep shipping you and the only way to see it is in the long run. Keep bashing and run better (just not against me

I don't get it .... you're making money aren't you ... and there will be some 'rb' too, no ?

I've always enjoyed when pro's start complaining about variance. Can you be pro and not know of it? ... if it is variance, then ride it out ... if it isn't, then start patching those leaks

Now go get 'em
