    Can you tell the difference between variance

    and when you're just playing bad? People spout off this and that about variance when they're running bad, but perhaps they're making shitty decisions? How would they even know? Remember that $1000 they cashed out and you heard all about it? Maybe the field wasn't so bad and they're just a fish or hamburger on a heater. Half of bettors and poker players probably don't even know what variance means and an even smaller percentage can detect it accurately. Hint: It's not just a term to use when you lose.

    I should win 95% of the time, 5% of the time I am wrong, the rest of my losses (50% of all plays) can be accounted for by bad luck

    The BS Iona ending (gave up 5 points in 1 second to blow cover) won you that contest Drinker, pure variance. Clearly your 58% was luck, but my 57% was 100% skill

    Congrats again ya lucky fukk
