    i have had a few swings in the past, losing over a week or two. i do feel at the moment that i cant win, i had another mess about with that variance thing befor and seen one winning player was out of profit over 250000 hands on a 1mil hands, i dont think i could take that it would drive me mad. one thing that gets me is other regs, you, offshoot, ajs and lolufold ok your all good players and have a edge over me but i never see any consitantly losing like i am at the moment or do all these boys run like god all the time.

    If you had seen me two months ago, I played about 50k hands in the month on sky, I literally lost every pot I shovelled money into, with sets, fd's, Aces, any flip. it went on all month, best bit is a month and a half later and i'm still not running well just not as toilet as I was that month lol.

    There is nothing you can do about variance or how it affects you swings wise you just have to cope mentally.

    i always thought by playing 6+ tables this would iron out the variance, or is it a case of you will run bad untill the poker gods say so? when running bad should you play 6+ tables or should you cut down and play 2-3 to limit the damage?

    The more tables you play, the more hands per hour. The more hands per hour the theoretically higher your winrate is. However if your standard of poker is lower with more tables you may hamper your winrate. Play as many tables as allows you to play your best and be confident in what you do.
