Message: [QUOTE="HooDooKoo, post: 2260398, member: 102827"] It had better be possible to make a living playing poker online. I was laid off on Dec. 5 and will be trying to make a living playing online cash games. As for your ridiculous claims about "sequenced variance", I can only say two things: 1. There is no such thing. If something is sequenced then it isn't random. 2. I've been a winning player (with a traditional full-time job) online for over 11 years. I've played at every online site out there, and I've won at every site. I've never once had to change my approach to account for "sequenced variance". I stick with the odds that standard mathematics recommends, and I do just fine. Furthermore, the compilation of millions of hands of data from every major online poker site has been completed and analyzed, and no major online poker site shows any evidence of RNG tampering. There is literally NO WAY to rig the randomization algorithm in a way that won't be caught by statistical verification models (and I know what I'm talking about, as I have a Masters in Applied Stats). None. It's really that simple. We all run good sometimes and we all run bad sometimes. The reason that you win for a while and then lose it all is simple: you are a mediocre (or worse) player. When you run good, you win. When your "hot streak" ends, you lose --- because your true poker ability is that of a losing player. My true ability is that of a winning player. Sometimes I lose. When I do, I'm either running bad or playing bad --- and possibly both. The reason that I win in the long term is twofold: 1. I don't tilt anymore. I have gotten completely comfortable with the variance in poker, and it no longer affects me. 2. I always exercise good bankroll management, so I never compound my losses by moving up in stakes. Skilled players that don't tilt and exercise good BR management are nearly certain to win in the long run --- and I'm fortunate that I'm one of them. If you want to be a better poker player, improve your mental game. Truly accept variance. Evaluate your play after the fact. Study. And accept that fact that, in order to win consistently, it's YOU that needs to be fixed --- not the online RNGs. Good luck. -HooDooKoo [/QUOTE]
