The higher up you play, the more the variance will be. At the high stakes levels say 110 and above...100 buy in swings can happen... anyone that tells you any different has not played enough of them to know any better.

Now..maybe the entire downswing is not due to variance, but hardly anyone plays their A game after they are down say 50 buy ins, no matter how robotic the play is

I dunno if I'm happy Andres came forward, or sad that he kept it to himself for so long...maybe a lil of both...

biggest mistake in this hand is reraising opponents raise to 800....you are inflating a pot that op is already inflating with his raise to 800.
