Card Dead - Variance ? how long can it last ?

[watchtowel]

I wish I was that card dead. I learned a long time ago, you can't win every hand. I still think I can, too funny.

I think like this too lol. When I have king high I still think I am ahead of those dnks who are 3bet bluffing me on the river

I have broken even for 50,000+ hands before.

Can that really be variance? How can people be unlucky for 50,000 hands?

50,000 is still a pretty small sample. Play with this, and you'll get some sort of idea how big a part of poker variance is. You can easily run good/bad for a 100k hand stretch.

When can a sample size actually tell give you an accurate picture of how good you are?

Depends how big your edge is. These two pics show a 2bb/100 winner and a 20bb/100 winner over 100k hands
