What do you think about poker variance?

[ronald3ra]

variance in poker is one of the most important concepts for those who want to evolve in the game, especially in sports such as Texas Hold'em. Variance is the name given to the natural oscillations of results that occur in the short term, even when a player makes correct decisions.
In poker, you can play a hand perfectly and still lose — and that doesn't mean you played poorly. This is because the game involves probability: sometimes the worst game wins, and sometimes the best game loses. The variance represents precisely that difference between what should happen in the long term and what happens in the short term .
Understanding and accepting variance is essential to maintaining emotional control. First-time players often enter tilt after losing streaks, but those who understand the concept recognize that swings are a natural part of the game. In the long term, those who make decisions that are mathematically advantageous tend to make a profit, as long as they have adequate banking management to survive bad periods.
In short, variance isn't the enemy: it's just a reflection of the probabilistic nature of poker. Knowing how to live with her is one of the differentials of winning players.

We can't control the hands we're dealt or the cards that land on the board. Therefore, this uncertainty, or luck, is what causes variance in the short term.We'll all have to accept and expect variance, so get used to it.

Variance in poker does not care about our opinion about it. She just is.

Variance in Poker is Kinda justice, because makes fair that more players can win... not always the same.

To paraphrase what Doyle said about this subject. "Variance is what keeps bad players playing and giving us their money"

Variance is a natural part of poker. Sometimes we play well and still lose, and that’s just how the game works. The key is focusing on the long run, making good decisions, and managing the bankroll. Accepting variance is an important step to improving as a player.
