What scares me at NL10...

... is possibly finding out that all my "improvement" has been the result of variance, or worse, that I'm someone who just can't get past NL10... After making about $150 in 10K hands, I think I've given back about 5 buy ins in the last 5K hands (I haven't dared to look too closely!)

It's probably just bad for me because I only have time to play about 7 hours a week, so being down over about 3000 hands mean's I'm down for the week, which is a pretty depressing thought. Logically, of course, I know that it's a small sample size etc. etc. But then I am not a very logical person...

Thankfully, more and more of the hands I ask for advice on come back as being okay. Yesterday I also found that I was able to identify some players who play like me (cbet a lot, try to steal blinds, open up in late position etc.) and do all the things to them I hate people doing to me (floating, raising their cbets, 3 betting light PF etc.) So that's something, at least.

Occasionally I'll come up against some annoying player with a huge calling range who keeps bluffing me out of pots and I have no idea when to keep going with ace high. But maybe now's not the time to deal with that yet and I should just switch tables.

God, I hope I don't end up at NL5 for the rest of my life!

(pay no attention to me, I'm just griping illogically!)

Variance should be your everyday meal as a poker player. Enjoy it

I will do once I'm sure it's variance and not bad play.
