    it's hard to fold this since the villan is such a donk, the check raise on the turn is real scary though.

    When we get a bigger bankroll we're going to split it up. But it started out as us sharing an account and we kind of stuck that way to lower variance.

    Provided their winrates are the same its the same argument as saying playing 2 tables reduces varience. It just makes the long run come around quicker.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    Do you guys wear matching outfits too?

    I also call and then c/c on the hand in question if the villian is an aggrofish. If he's the passive type I fold.

    the long run is username dependent? i don't get it. isn't that the same as saying that you'll have a better chance of winning flips today if you lost all your flips yesterday?

    It lowers variance because Max is playing when I'm not so together we are playing more hands, with same winrate it's the long run coming faster.
