Say that slow 3 times.
Not what I said. I've played more than a million hands, 6 years of live poker. The vast majority of my hands played were multitabling online. Six years of live poker is a big sample size.
It wasn't six consecutive years either. It was two years.....then 10 years later another 2 years......10 years laters another 2 years. I never plan to play professionally. It just winds up happening.
200 hours is a full-time month of poker. This is my first losing month in 6 years of poker. I play a super nitty low variance style. "No major leaks" is different than "no leaks". Everyone can improve their game. Yes, 8,000 hands of losing money with the idiots I play with is insanely unlucky.
In a short session today, I played with people who:
1. Misread their hand and called a river bet with j-high thinking he had a straight.
2. Called $200 (100BBs) pre with 66.
3. called a pre-flop raise with Q7o. He bet and re-raised all-in for $300 on a Q32 flop (lost to KK).
4 Called a big river bet on a 4-straight, 4-flush board with a set and was shocked and angry he lost.
You can be leaking like a sieve and still beat these oppoenents. They're beyond bad.
