    Hand 1:

    Why the min raise PF? If your going to raise it, then raise it... otherwise limp.

    Flop is fine, His call was bad...

    Turn though... i think he played it very well (maybe not intentionally). And he was forced to call. From his perspective, hes looking at around 15 outs, depending on how he thinks a pair of jacks will play...
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    Luck is a Residue of Design.

    Hand 2:
    This is a classic coin flip. All the money went in preflop, so the appearance of a 1outer after the doesn't hold water unless the money was put into the pot on the flop.

    Im not sure whats going wrong though...
    either im a HUGE downswing and i hear pros say they can last up to 6 months sometimes...
    Or
    im playing absolutely terrible... (forget the play in our Home Game - i had my cards covered up most the time... and im not really motivated to play properly for anything less than $20)

    Details :
    Live games - played 3. won 1, came 2nd once, 3rd once . 6max live sng's..
    Tournament every tuesday and 13 week league - i won it..

    So as far as variance comes.. it seems to be only online that has a negative vairance for me, and it seems that im losing almost every hand that decides my sng/tourny life....

    Im playing good poker IMO compared to the guys at my tables..
    most of my play is so standard...
    but nothing works out.. maybe its online screwing me over hoping for me to deposit...

    I used to love online poker... sigh.. now its just a bad addiction.
    And this is only for online...
