While watching and listening to the broadcast for the Big One for One Drop there was a lot of interesting analysis from very high level pros, but there was a pretty big mistake that several of them made. I heard them say a couple of times that once it got to the final table and [...]

So, one of the cooler videos I did for Poker VT a while back was on variance. I don’t think most people truly appreciate how crazy variance can get. In one of my earliest videos I showed off a program written by RVG (who later went on to create HEM) that was an ROI simulator. [...]
