It's been a while

Its been 3 months since my last update.
I had a very tough stretch of hands between april and july, where I didn't win anything for about 250k hands. I've never had anything like that before, so obviously it really hurt my confidence in my game.
It was clear that I was running very bad in a lot of ways, but still 250k hands seems amazing and I never thought it was possible.

In august I went on holiday and when I came back in September I replaced my harddisk (which was broken during the time I moved in with my girlfriend) and after that I could start grinding again.
EVP had some nice promotions in September (alpine cash race and a hand race), so my plan was to play over 100k hands to qualify myself for this alpine package in this hotel:

At the end of september I played around 120k hands and qualified myself easily.
Lucky for me I also run good again. It's really amazing how big variance can be as I made over 100 buyins within 100k hands during this period.
Before I always thought 100k hands was a big enough sample to be able to tell something about your winrate, but after the last half year I doubt it.
I've had a 200k hand stretche with a winrate of close to 0, but also one with a winrate around 10bb/100.So yeah variance is sick.

I'll post some hand later on.
