| Do you call variance when you put the money in as a BIG favourite (from 80 to 99%) and lose? |
Actually, that's exactly what it is.  @ people who think they should never lose an 80% hand. |
This, obv.

| Briefly my story. Two years ago I started with 100$. A couple of months ago I reached 650$. In two months I'm back to 250$. |
So is this cash games? Were you seriously playing 2nl with a roll of $650? Did you really lose 200 All Ins in 2 months where you were the favourite? How many hands did you play in the last 60 days?

No way! It's impossible for you to lose 2 quads twice!

I'm going to vote "You don't know." Although I think you want to call it rigged ... don't you ... c'mon just say it ... you think we'll ridicule you for saying it, just because you don't have any evidence at all ... you could be right about that.

Wat? You seem to just be throwing out poker catch phrases without actually knowing what they mean. Any hand is weak against 5 callers. Ace high especially so.

Yes, it is poker. And if poker is not for you, then fine, you should leave.

That seems wise. You could try to get better at the game, but if that's too much work, then giving it away is probably best.

Cheers. Good luck to you, too. |
