Remarks not unreasonable

In Response To: Luck (lucky in love)

People here will be surprised to learn that I don't find your remarks at all unreasonable.

But, you have to understand that "long run" can be quantified statistically. So, if we have played a designated number of hours, we can state quite precisely what our mean, or expected win, is, and we can state how likely we are to stray from that mean, and with what magnitude of straying.

If we don't play too long, we may increase the likelihood you talk about of being on the left side of the curve. But, it doesn't necessarily mean we will lose. It may mean that we simply don't win our "fair share." And, I believe that this is, indeed, very common with many counters who don't play on a regular basis.
