Thoughts about winrates and variance
by jajvirta on Mar 5th, 2008

Yeah, you heard it first from me: decrease your variance by increasing your winrate. A couple of disclaimers. First, "variance" is actually not a "thing." I guess you should call the "thing" dispersion. Variance is just a measure of that. "Decreasing variance" would be something like "making ... Read More


Silver white winters that melt into springs
by krantz on Dec 26th, 2007

How to Deal: Big Wins and Big Losses To many of you on the outside, a professional online poker player’s lifestyle looks glamorous: we work from home, have a lot of money, and can wake up at 1pm on any given day and not have to answer to anyone. We have it easy. This article is for those... Read More


Ran Good, Ran Bad
by beset on Dec 3rd, 2007

Despite the fact that my main games for the last couple years have extremely high variance, I had not had a losing month for over two years up until January.  A lot of this is a function of anal game selection and playing a ton of hands each month.  Since I started playing for a living...

How This Blog Will Work

2012-09-23 01:45 PM

Like I mentioned in the description, I am starting this blog because of The Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler.  I want to be able to catalog all of my emotions post-session so that I can go back and check out my progress.  It’ll kind of be like a 2+2 PG&amp;C thread in a way.   So , what I’ll be doing each day is writing about my session from a strategic and emotional point of view.  Then I’ll give myself, on a scale ... <a href="/blogs/aakkds/94391-How-This-Blog-Will-Work">(continued)</a>


Playing style

2012-03-23 01:22 PM

I’ve been watching some BlackRain79 vids over on another training site (shhhh…), he’s one of the most consistent and successful winners at the micros ever, and he’s produced a series called “crushing the micros 6max” where he works from 2nl through 5nl to 10nl and focusses on really sound fundamentals which he basically never deviates from ever. He hunts out fish relentlessly and doesn’t even bother playing against reggy type play ... <a href="/blogs/kepalto/88071-Playing-style">(continued)</a>


Brutal variance, bad beats and coolers

2012-03-18 12:54 AM

So I just had a horrible losing session. Finished many BIs below EV, got B-slapped by the worst fish on the internet 6 or 7 times in situations where I was value-betting every street with the best hand then getting rivered by guys who’d been calling me down with shit. Then got it in for stacks with KK vs QQ and got felted when he flopped a Q, then spiked TPTK in a 3bet pot against a guy who was playing 65/4 ... <a href="/blogs/kepalto/87841-Brutal-variance-bad-beats-and-coolers">(continued)</a>


Smoothing Out the Curves

2012-03-06 03:32 AM

Hey guys So I ended up down a bit on the week bankroll wise but it didn’t feel like it because of last sundays success. For the limited amount of volume I did put in, I made a ton of deep runs, resulting in some close calls! However getting in the top 50 is not a recipe for success. Its all about that win baby! I know its coming. One thing that has been gratifying has been my variance reducer, 8game sng’s. Ive b ... <a href="/blogs/jaimestaples/87201-Smoothing-Out-the-Curves">(continued)</a>


Tilting like a mofo

2012-02-20 08:14 PM

As I sit here typing this blog that doubtless nobody else will read, I have blood oozing from my knuckles from where I meticulously lined my computer chair up, took a deep breath and jammed two or three of the hardest punches I could muster into the plastic backing whilst exhaling and screaming “F*CK” at the top of my lungs. Yes my friends, I have almost certainly tilted my balls off this evening, and if nothing else this bl ... <a href="/blogs/kepalto/86501-Tilting-like-a-mofo">(continued)</a>

Two sequential hands vs the same player

Variance in PLO

2011-07-08 09:47 AM

I do run pretty shitty right now but I feel I play OK and that what matters… The hands from around a month of play (PLO10 and PLO30)   BTW, why the fuck I need to have a downswing every single time I try to move up? Guess, at which place in a graph I moved to PLO30? :D It is almost funny but it happened every time I tried to move up in stakes during my poker carrier. I am sure it is not because of amount of money on a table because I already played NL100. NL50 was my main game for a long time. 


The ol' seven deuce

2011-07-03 06:49 AM

Villain was openjamming something like A2+,K2+,Q2+,J2+,22+ and just about everything else he was limping and then jamming the flop if he caught a piece.  I thought my tens looked pretty gooood until I came upon the mighty 72o.
