I know it's in depth but I made the post because a lot of people dont get the bigger picture. Many people maybe never played more than 2000 hands or so and if you look at the graph it's easy to see that 2k hands can end 7 buy ins down for me It doesn't mean I am down by the end of the month though

Variance is much bigger than people can grasp and therefore the human brain starts to look for patterns. It is a vital part of the game to be able to ignore these unexisting patterns that seems to appear There are no "Everytime I have AA I lose". Maybe that's the case for 500 hands but it certainly is not in the long haul. Not if played correctly and protected by bets that is

Poker is a complex game full of sick beats. People tend to forget that if you have a 80% winning chance you lose 1 out of 5 times. No one is to say that 1 out of 5 times doesn't come 10 times in a row. It happens all the time Cards hold no memory.
