While I like what you're saying here, this is incorrect.

If you run 20 BI below EV for a period of time, you can expect only to run 0 EV from that point on, ultimately making you -20 BI in EV over the long run.

This goes back to the gambler's fallacy.

a grind of 6.5 hour, pfiewh... Totally break even, but believe me when I say thats one hell of an accomplisment

Ug. AKSpartan I can totally commiserate. I'm going through an unbelievably bad run. My bankroll is just plummeting. This is the first time I've seen the ugly side of variance for an extended period of time. I just wonder when it will end...

Last night I played a long roller coaster session. Finally got back to even and right before I was gonna call it a night AA < KK and then I got owned by a 40/20 who cracked my aces. I pulled an mpeth and broke my mouse. I regretted it this morning when I had to do my report for work with the stupid touchpad

This run has made me want to quit poker. Think I'm gonna move back to 25 for a bit.

True.

Saw 2 droooolers a week or so ago @ 50NL, 1 had $500, the other had $300.

... yep... GOOOOOODDDD for them. I feel your pain, Rounder...

and OF course, I got none of it!

yea im in the same boat right now too. not sure what im going to do.

I am going to say your wrong on that one AK, while I understand you can only expect to run at 0 EV from a certain point on, if you are 20 BIs below EV pure odds will pretty much bring you back to even over the long haul. You HAVE to suck out on someone at some point. Whether or not you think it will happen you will start hitting on people. Maybe you will be down set to set in a big pot and smack quads. Unlikely things have to happen sometimes and you will be on the good side of them at some point. Stay strong you will get them back.

I think I saw you for a sec at a table last night. Saw your SN and shrute someone who I think is ITT. I decided that table sucked and swam away

Guess we have no choice but to suck it up haha. I think I'm gonna drop down for a bit and try to take some blinds off 25 nl nits.

We should create a run bad support group.

LOL, think this is already it

lol title should be changed to official 2009 micro stakes FR Full Tilt Run Badders Thread.
All you run gooders get your own thread. lol

LOL That thread wouldn't need to be bumped ever but it would be pretty depressing.

We should probably go with something more along the lines of, "poast hear for god mode activation!"

"post here if shortstackers run like god vs you"

I got eaten allive by shortstackers in my session this weekend. They doubled up like 6x with AA or KK against me, then I got scared and started folding everything. Yuck.

2+2 PLO2 sick table running right now starring toedder, joopjan imfrosweden, la ultima cerveca and myself (just look in the list, 2 PLO2 tables)

Table name?

Edit: Nevermind, found it. #3 on waiting list lol

gunther and milorie

Umm, I run soooo bad

LOL. I tend to do that, too. Worst has been down 18 buyins in a single session. Things like FH rivered by straight flush after 200BB all in on the Turn.
