are you crazy? all my poker career has been a struggle against luck except for a rush in 600nl where i won at 7ptbb/100 for over 100k hands, im guessing since i posted screen shots of that you believe i am lucky or something, but here the screen shot i took is from 400k hands, so its not like "you finally ran bad" lol what the fuck.


However i am have a "no whinning" philosophy and i am very ashamed of myself for blogging this, i would delete it but ill let it stay just a reminder of my weakness.

Its also due to the online pro thing if i dont get it it would be morally devastating it would feel like im drowning on quicksand, somebody throws a rope and right when im about to grab it they troll me and pull it away.

Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else but as far as I remember you ranted and raved about how EV is completely meaningless.

BTW, congratulations if you make online pro. That would be so awesome to have 2 online pros from LP. Well, 2 that I know of at least who is the other online pro? Raszi, Khan and Elky are TEAM pro. Well nano obv doesnt win every single hand he is just the luckiest player ive seen.

I dont think khan is sponsored anymore, and elky doesnt come on very much

Havent read anything other than the the OP but - Your screen shot looks similar to what would represent my graph in the last 5 months which is: running 36 BI's below EV(of course not accounting for a plethora of coolers too). I've put practically no volume in as of late due to lack of motivation. All the power to people who can still come out on top and rise above this. It's always difficult not to want to let people know about this(if some remember how i used to do it), so i can sympathize with baal on this post.

i dont think i ever said that, you are probably confusing me lol how would i reach high stakes thinking like that, unless i meant it in the pure realistic form where EV isnt in your cashier.

is it yearly graph? if yes, that's depressing

LOL miscommunication here.

EV is not meaningless in poker - but EV that hem shows is a meaningless stat because there is so much more luck in poker than it can show, that it's almost guaranteed to be way off.

nvm

rofl nolan

are you talking about what Tom (I think) said about how EV graphs are meaningless b/c they don't really show if you're getting unlucky vs just playing bad b/c being coolered has a whole other effect than being sucked out on in these graphs?

EV graphs are not meaningless, but they are a small part of the equation in how good or bad you run.

It's just there are so much more than that.

Anyway it's pretty much the only 'objective' measure there are.

lol 40 buyin below in ev 400k hands
sick deal
...

I have to agree with HeRoS)eNGagE. Being down nearly 44 buy-ins on a 383k hand sample is unlucky, but it's not difficult to find far worse examples (a pretty spectacular one from a single PLO session: http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii77/iggymcfly/recordbreaker.jpg ).

It's not worth to invest energy in dwelling on your luck (unless something constructive comes out of it or it's the only way to make you feel better). And I'm not saying that, because I'm annoyed by whining or I feel like criticizing you, but because I believe everyone is REALLY better off when they start thinking that way.

Right, but look on the bright side - 'everyone will run better than they thought was possible' is an equally true statement. :D (assuming a person is objective when it comes to their visualization of luck)

nano confirmed for riggedness, hes good also ofc, but man he knows how to win the flips and the 40/60's
