variance

hey there all, i have been a keen reader on boards this past year or so and have found some of the threads very helpful and interesting, so i thought i had better sign up and get involved.

i play a mixture of live and online(online goin slightly better than live) i play 1/2 live and tournies up to the entry of 500 euro. online i play anywhere from 50/1 up to 2.5/5 but try to stay at 1/2 and tournies up to 300 dollar entries(try to satellite into them)

i have found the variance in my local 1/2 live game very hard to come to terms with. i had my first losing month last month in twelve months of playing there. it is very disheartening to keep losin monster pots wen goin in miles in front. i have decided to focus more on online cash tournaments and the odd live decent sized tournament, particularly fond of gjp monthly games even tho i have only played a couple so far!
