Whatever makes you feel like a big boy, go with it.

Hmm, I read his post too and just saw it as a guy who liked his job. I was kind of happy for him, frankly.

Interesting though how you took it as a personal affront that someone else in the world was happy and saw the need to try to drag them down to your level of misery. It's pretty pathetic really.

Actually, that's what most of them do.

I assumed you made an income commensurate with your claimed IQ. My mistake.

Not really, no. But then again I have a social life.

That must look great on your CV. So you became a finance officer with no formal training? Not even Concord Technical College?

Depends what your hobby is. Hanging out with loser degens in a dingy casino is about two steps above selling crack when it comes to good uses of my time imo.

Whatever your company pays you I guess.

Why, do you want a 75 year old woman as your friend? Seems really desperate.

She doesn't respect you either huh?

Now tell me all about variance buddy. How many hands would I have to play like this for there to be even a 10% chance that I go on even a 100BB downswing? It's virtually impossible!!


Why does sample size even matter?????

There is $30 in the pot. You bet $15. Your opponent folds 75% of the time. What sample size would you need in order to have 100% confidence that the hand is +EV? Serious question, how many times would you have to see that work before you could say definitively that it's a profitable play? What's the requisite sample size??
It doesn't. There's no such thing as variance. Or if there is, it only affects everyone else and not you. Don't worry about it.
