Are you making consistent profits playing online poker these days, or is variance destroying your goals?

I make a steady income by being a member of the CardsChat community and playing in our daily Platinum and Silver freerolls. Without my membership in CardsChat, I would not have the results I have.

Overall, I'm making profit but recently on a downswing. My BR is about 10% down from where it was but that's in the regular range of the variance for poker tournaments...

I don't spend money on the game. Poker brings me income, which I unfortunately usually spend on slots. I don't really care about variance because I follow bankroll management and almost always play only with the money I managed to win in freerolls.

Variance is the natural state of poker, the rest is luck.:)

Just wondering, is it considered fairly normal variance that your all in ev is 3x what you actually have won ? 12k hands ~
Feels so disgusting to be 7-8BB/100 below ev and more. .

The variance remains the same, what is profitable in poker does not go hand in hand with that

What do you mean what is profitable does not go hand in hand with that ? iam still profitable, and i would argue getting it in being a good favorite to win the hand isnt that bad if people tend to call with 20-30% equity.

Kind of a weird question, since the whole implication of variance is, that results can never be "consistent" at least not in the short to medium term.

Variance is the only constant in poker. It will always be same in poker now & in the future. Otherwise, there will always be the same winner.

At the moment the profits are consistent, but I consider the variation to be normal, after all you can't just win lol

I take it easy, without nerves. Assessing the result of the dispersion calculation is important for understanding how much your poker results fluctuate.Understanding variance will help you better understand your poker results and make more informed decisions about your playing approach and bankroll management.
