Yes. Yes you are. That's nothing to do with poker though.

Oh, double doomed.

why dont you just quit poker?

why dont you just quit poker?

The voice in my head says this everyday but I keep playing...guess i'm a junky

in the end all poker players are addicted to poker. One makes money with it, the other hands over money to the first one. The second believes one day he or she will become the first catagory.

Nothing personal. We're all doomed.

haha yes

The law of large numbers says that the more hands you play, the more your winrate approaches your ev.

Since AIEV is only part of your overall ev, you could be running really bad in other spots that aren't reflected by your AIEV.

The more hands you play, the less likely there is going to be a significant difference...so I disagree with others saying you will are not more likely to approach neutral AIEV as time goes on.

How significant of a difference between AIEV and the rest of your EV, that's anyone guess.

You are obviously running good in AI spots, if you are running shit in other spots then no you can't expect it to even out...if you are running good in other spots too...you WILL approach your true winrate over time, and very possibly in a dramatic fashion.

not true.

I am now 20 Buy Ins below expected EB through 3 sessions. It has been insane!

WHAT?!

not true.

your being in denial

All-in EV that is.

How can you ever be 20 buy-ins below EV in 3 sessions?! That would mean that you had been all-in (and lost) way more often than 20 times ... how many hands should that have been?

I don't know the number of hands but it was six tabling for around 20 hours. I haven't checked for the specific dates but I was running as I should according to all-in EV in the beginning of the month. I can't say for sure that the bad luck didn't stretch for 4-5 sessions. It was just very remarkable in the last three.

I lost KK four times in a row all-in preflop. I lost AA three times in a row all-in preflop to AK, KK, and TT. The AK was particular cruel since the T brought the first king. River the 2nd.

I lost three overpairs getting it in on the flop in 3B pot against a smaller unimproved overpair to the board. And then I lost every flip in town. All AK, AQ and AJ's loosing to pairs and all paris loosing to AQ and AK.
