>If I play at a site for an entire month and cannot win and lose to horrible beats.... how can you stay there? You've lost for so long that your mind is set in losing. You start rooting for the bad beats to hit so you can tell your friends how bad it is. Your mind becomes accustomed to going to the site and losing time and again.

Here's some stats from my PT database for the last 7000 hands or about a month's worth of play for some of you. About 1.5 months for me.

Biggest win was 33.
Bigger than AA by 40%
Bigger than KK by 50%
Bigger than AKs,Ako by 400%.

Measured in total $$ won. If I thought a month's worth of play meant that much, I'd be pushing my 33's all-in every time I got 'em. I think some of you get impatient and expect to win every time you're a big fav. Like I said swings bunch up in both directions.

This is sightly off topic but the play at Party's $1/$2 all the way up to $5/$10 appears to be much much better in the past month or so. I have no idea why.
