I've had some very swingy sessions both live and online, as variance has kicked in in a big way. My last live session was particularly crazy, with me going down big and getting it all back plus profit by going on a 3 buy-in upswing (~€900) in less than an hour (about 25-30 hands max). It was kinda my own doing though. I had decided to be a degenerate and forgo a planned online session and instead went to the casino to win rent money, which was due the next day. About three hours in, I was getting a bit frustrated due to running breakeven all night, so I decided it was time for some GAMBOL. I shoved into a calling station luckbox with QhTh on the turn on a board of Jh 3h 8s Td, who turned up with a filled gutshot (97o), and I missed the river for a vaguely €850 pot. This tilted me a little, and my VPIP% probably went from about 14 to 47 for the next hour or so, as I kept trying to get into pots to use my mad post-flop skillz to get some money back. I picked up Qh9h on the button, and flopped 999, but stupidly bet out the flop and got folds all round, which tilted me even more. I calmed down when I won a buy-in w/ KK vs. AQ all-in on a Q hi rainbow flop, and then picked up QQ UTG on the last hand of the night, just as the casino was closing. I raised pot and got six callers. Just as I was contemplating how the hell one is supposed to play Queens OOP in a 7-way pot, I stumbled upon the solution: flop top set. And so I did, and the board came Qd5c6c. I bet out about 2/3 pot and got called by a solid if overly loose pla<x>yer (a dealer on his night off). It was folded to the casino owner on the button, who's a bit of a nit, and he pumped it to €150. I shoved for ~€500, and the solid pla<x>yer shoved over the top of me. The owner thought about it for a while, then mucked AQ face up, and the solid pla<x>yer turned over Ac8c for the nut flush draw. 6s on the turn, ship me my rent money!
My online play has been very swingy too, with me spending the last 11 days or so getting up BIG and almost to the $1000 threshold for 50NL, and then going on a near 10 buy-in downswing to bring me back to pretty where I was. I also took a 1 buy-in shot at 50NL, but got my AA cracked by KQo AIPF, flop KQQ. Stats below, I couldn't be bothered to post hands right now:
