u really might run bad often.

I'm def playing better than ever before in my life, but I've been running good when it counts for once in my life too, I know I always complained I ran bad when it matterd, I feel like that's really changing. Tho I still feel in tournies I've ran way below expectation...

Anyway...

this might be really dumb for me to think, im honestly not sure but i've kinda been wondering for awhile...

Is it normal for me to LOVE to run HORRIBLE when i play low stakes BECAUSE I feel like it gets that out the way and I can run better at higher stakes?

It's not like the variance of cards no what limit you are playing, so I feel like it actually makes sense. Yes, no?

No, because you are thinking way too short term. It's not like when you move up, the cards somehow know that you were running bad at lower stakes so they start running good for you.

Now, "being due" aside, if you can have a positive state of mind when you are running badly though, that IS a good thing, as it will help you keep playing your A game.

THESE FUCKING SITES JUST DON'T STOP, WTF?????


Now it's Stars AND Full Tilt, I guess I gotta move to Cake poker and see if I can get an honest game there.

Shit.

Took my hat off for just a second
