hi there . i am currently playing the 6.5$ (6/9/18/27 ppl)sngs at ft and like the last month and so i am breakeven .i was grinding like from 100$ to 1000$ (started at micro sngs )with a roi of like 10-12% but the last 1.5 month i am like struggling between 1000-1200 $ breakeven and from my part i think big bad luck . i ll post my hands from today and yesterday session but they are similar to what i play through this whole 1.5 month.could that be variance (and how long it will last ) or its just my bad play?

Hi Schris7,

It looks like you played most of the hands well but got hit by variance, although the 1st KK hand I would raise less (525) or push directly preflop, the 2nd KK hand I would bet more on the flop and push the turn as you are pot committed, just stick at it your luck will turn around eventually.

To post a picture try image shack, its pretty easy to upload on there, where it says resize image, check the box and choose option "optimise without resizing".. once you have uploaded there copy the "direct link" URL and then click this..

I hope your luck turns around soon.

Regards,
Sarah

maybe it is, maybe it isn't. noone can tell just by looking at the graph, try to find mistakes in your game.
