To everyone who is convinced and tells their peers they run bad: its obv possible, but you most likely are just not as good as you think you are.
I really get annoyed when people talk about how they run bad as if its an absolute fact.
"Umm, it's basically been scientifically proven that i run bad so yeah, i'm 100% positive."
Im actually surprised that people are so weak minded or w/e and cant realize that its just that theyre not pro like they thought. If youre running at .05BB/100 for 150k hands its easy to remember all the constant bad beats and automatically assume that youre running below expectation and that youre BB/100 should be higher.
also going back to bad beats. they're the nature of the game, theyre basically what makes poker what it is. if there wasnt a luck factor, the fish wouldnt play. theres constantly gonna be bad beats. over and over, till youre dealt that very last hand youll ever play. because if you think about it, all the situations where youre ahead, its usually something like 60/40, 70/30, 55/45 of course youre going to lose ALOT when you were the favorite. poker is a very very long term game... if you constantly wallop in your 'misfortune' than youre just making it harder for yourself to truly become a winner. Id imagine the greatest winners today are most likely absolutely emotionless about every hand they play. They always are on their A game and they critically think to the best of their knowledge about poker all around and how they can get better.
winrates are considerably lower than they used to be because of less fish so i think we see this more and more because people are just not winning / breaking even now. Players are getting more and more frustrated thus you see all these ppl bitch about bad beats and how they KNOW they run bad.
Theres no way it could just be because poker is an extremely intricate game and its actually possible they just suck and ran well or any number of other reasons. get real :O

my friend who i'm teaching would tell me for a month about how bad he's running and that he just keeps running into bad beats. "Yo man i'm slowly grinding, just running into a bunch of bad beats." Then I did a sweat session and he was playing utterly terrible.
You can't run bad for that long, unless you are playing bad. |

it never is running bad alone, it's always a combination of a few bad beats / bad play / tilt and so on
those who are saying they play well but are running bad
well, reality check needed |

yes this is true, if you have a decent edge on the games and dont tilt too much you will probably still breakeven when running absolutely bad. |
