Message: [QUOTE="K_Kahne_Fan, post: 725667, member: 27510"] Y'all have gone back to talking about fish. I'm not talking about playing against fish/moderates/pros, I'm simply talking about 1 player who "just will" catch good cards that hold up and another player who "just will" catch good cards that get busted. For example (just an example)... Given both players have the same skillset and are in VERY similar situations... out of 1000 times they've had QQ vs AK Player 1's Q's held up 425 times, but lost 575 times Player 2's Q's held up 575 times, but lost 425 times [B][COLOR=darkred]NOTE:[/COLOR][/B] I don't know how many times Q's are supposed to hold up, but the above gives it as though it's 50/50 [U]just as an example[/U]. So, in total the Q's held up 50% of the time as they're "supposed to", but player 1 won with them 43% of the time while player 2 won with them 58% of the time. Now put this with different situations where player 1 & 2 start out ahead in 10K/100K hands and just move the decimal and add 0's to the amount of times they held up or not and this is what I'm talking about. In the long run, over ALL HANDS that are played, maybe the hands which are supposed to hold up do, but maybe they hold up more often for 1 player and less often for another player. So, the variance is what it's supposed to be for the hands dealt, it's just that 1 player's losing hands were compensated by another players winning hands. I know a lot of you say "get your money in when you're ahead and you'll be a winner in the long run", what I'm saying is... what if you're just not. There are times when you have to get your $$ in PF and when you feel you're ahead, and when the other players cards turn over you may still be ahead. But, when the flop/turn/river comes it just kills 1 player more than another player. Does this make sense? [/QUOTE]
