True story

I'm dealt AA action don't matter, flop is A6X with good action and me and another player are all-in, turn is 6. he of course has pocket 6s. VERY NEXT HAND, I am dealt AA, flop is A8X, me and another player are all-in turn is 8, he has pocket 8s.

Know what I did.... I laughed. Variance, how you deal with it is what separates pros from joes.

Facts:

I've run worse than OP
I've run better than OP

This made me lol.

This confused me.

my advice to OP would be to stop playing AA like this dude......

Law of Averages is over an indefinate time period. It could be one million years before your luck changes to a break-even level. You might not live long enough to benefit from the right play through variance.

this depends on the percentages. It won't take a million years to see a coin flip even out to close to average. However it could take a long time for a million to 1 shot to come through. It's more the law of big numbers.

I see your point, but my point is it "could" take a million years to see a coin flip even out to close to average. Make sense?
