Learning to Deal with Variance

The more I multi-table the more I believe in the numbers and in variance. I realize I have been playing correctly and so far it has shown. I know I treat every 6 tables a session and when I don't do well I get a bit upset. However, I know I can't win everyone of them and I know I will run into some "bad luck" once in a while. Today I had a situation where I played 6 sngs and in 4 of them I ran into AA. I had KQ short-stacked, TT big stack, QQ avg stack and another hand. That's just how it is. I also had hands such as 99 vs 77 lose, as well as AA vs KK lose. Does it upset me? Sure, but it's part of the game. AA is not invincible and the more I play the more I feel comfortable taking some beats.

Now let's get to the numbers. Even after all of this I still manage to make a profit.

So I am still very happy with the results. During these sessions I didn't have as many bubbles and this makes me happy.

I played today's Poker Stars 750k Guaranteed and I didn't manage to survive long as I had 3 mosnter hands. Here they are:
