    Default When variance turns against you

    so i made an excel file to check and see if i'm getting the expected number prem starting hands.

    thanks char for the numbers.

    turns out over 6k tourney hands in june i'm being dealt 25% less prem hands than is to be expected.

    my average finishes are.... Early 5%.... early mid 6%... middle 47% late middle 33%.... late 9%.

    this confirms that i'm not tilting and staying patient. do i need to open up my raising ranges and be more aggressive? i've always thought the right thing to do is just play your game and make the correct decisions... not letting fear of the bad beat or the BB waking up with AK vs your AJ etc.

    thoughts?

    Stop worrying about stuff you can't control. Play more, learn more, think more.

    In early levels you probably dont need to change much but in later levels you should consider early position stealing more and also make sure that you are actively restealing in spots where you can find a late position raiser who is overly active.
