Also, there's something I want to add about variance (think 10 buyin downswing), that at best, only partially applies to this hand.

If I drop 10 buyins due to bad play (which was partially the case for me yesterday), then that sucks and needs to be corrected. However, I'm badly overrolled for the 1/2 game and don't care much about the variance. It's all about EV for me. People say that you should have 15 or 20 or even 30 buyins for a game and that you can ignore variance, which is just bull. With those amounts, variance IS a concern and affects your play, even if only a small amount.

I also feel good when I play, and it generally doesn't bother me much when I take a 2 outer for a 2+ buyin pot.

Anyway, I just thought I'd add that in. BR management = key, even if you don't play with as many buyins as I have been (a LOT).
