Telling variance where to go

nagrom

These hands are in order from a HU SnG reg speed I played yesterday. They demonstrate why I recommend playing this format and why you shouldn't tilt despite what the poker Gods throw at you. I've been guilty of losing the head recently after such beats, so was particularly pleased with this win. I think this shows that the effect of variance in terms of winning or losing ££ isn't as strong in normal speed HU SnG's.
