6 max Goodness (Forum Challenge)

[Talking Poker]

Thanks, I think.....

I'm playing like I always play (and no, of course I don't play NL MTTs or HU the same way I play 6 max limit - I can't believe you even asked that question!).

I've tilted off some money, I'm sure, but I honestly think 90% of my recent losses are do to (abnormal?) variance. The cards are being cruel. The idiots are hitting their draws and I'm missing all of mine. I'm also getting a higher than expected amount of second best hands (set over set type stuff, even), and that sort of thing.

It's hard to say though... I would think 5000 hands would be enough for it to somewhat even out, but it certainly hasn't. When I look at some of my Poker Tracker stats though, I can't help but laugh. For example:

In terms of $ per hand, my best hand is QTo. AA is NINTH on the list, far behind the likes of A7s, KQs, etc. Uh huh. KK is even farther down than THAT!

My worst hand is 88, which has cost me $229 so far.

I've been dealt 67o 51 times. 94o, Q7o and Q5o 45+ each. AKs and AQs, you ask? 9 times each. AJs - EIGHT times. Hell, I've had Aces 15 times! I've had AKo 30 times, for comparison sake, and have won a whopping $2.50 per hand with it. Ooooooooooooooooooooooh.
