Hi. Makes for uncomfortable reading for a new player like me. It is intriguing. Which software are you using to give you this information? I would like to look over my own stats.

I understand what you're saying. You can acknowledge when you've been out played, or when you haven't been dealt the cards to play, when your shoves are called and you're beat etc. Tt is not a leak you're looking to plug, it's the raw statistics that aren't weighing up.

I've played less hands that you have obviously starting just a week ago, $3 STT on PP. I've just had a run of ten showdowns where, on average, I was 53% favourite, but won just 1, 10%.. And already I begin to wonder how variance will re-pay me.. My next ten showdowns, I'll win 90%? How much has variance cost me? But most of all I'm thinking.. What about if variance never evens out like that guy on the pokerstategy forums!


you've been playing for 3 years and you are still in the micros?

you're doing it wrong

When a member is asking for help/advice with his game i would appreciate it if you could please only comment with something positive or constructive.

We have all come to a stage in our game at one point where we look for help in finding leaks/strengths and we are a community so lets keep the community spirit and help each other out :)

Keep spreading the love yeah

Who can answer this?

i will be serious when the situation arises.this is just another "boo-hoo pokers be mean to me".if OP can provide some SN for PTR check of sample size or whatevs,it doesn't seem like he played 2 mils hands.it just seems he saw a recurring response of fellow community members to these types of questions "sample size is not big enough" and decided to post a random number to convince everyone his game is legit.

imo

Edit: it's pretty obvious he is suggesting that poker softwares are rigged.

Hi

You are saying that you are putting your money in good but losing a higher percentage than normal. First of all the number you gave for each specific example (like 600 and something and so on) are still very low number and are still a tiny sample. So for example in 2M hands you should have been dealt roughly 10K AA. I understand that a lot of them will not go post flop but still you should have a decent sample to play with.

When you post a stat illustrate it with a pic of the relevant stat.

To illustrate that you put your money in good you should post your ev line (I don't like it in other case) but otherwise it just looks like a whine

best regards
