more variance

by Adam on Jan.24, 2012, under poker

I was doing fairly well at the beginning of the day, but then ran into a huge stretch of coolers.

I played some $7 HU hyper turbos and after the session I had I might just give up on that form of poker. It seemed like virtually every hand I had was second best, and every time I shoved a standard hand my opponents would call me and have me dominated. I got coolered a ton, flopping top pair, top 2 pair, etc and losing to a better hand over and over again. Then to cap it off, when I did get all in pre and have the advantage my opponents kept hitting their 30-45%’s over and over and over again. I’m still up about $57 over 125 games, but after this last session I’m probably just going to play these only once in a while if I feel like it. Grinding them just seems way too mind-numbing. I don’t even really enjoy the players in them either. Most of the guys are super spazz-aggressive which makes the variance that much higher.
