Default Re: Big Loss in One Session

You should consider that the level of play at these small stakes live games is very low. This gives a good player a huge edge, making large breakeven stretches (counted in number of hands) almost impossible. If you are a solid player a winrate of 1 or 2 bb/hour is certainly possible in a low stakes live limit game. If you have a winrate like that, a long breakeven period is almost impossible.

You realize we're talking about a limit game, right?

Actually, the swings are a bit bigger in looser games like this. And yes, a long breakeven period is very possible.

7 sessions is nothing to base anything on.

When you earn 2BB/hour you have a +/- 1% risk of ruin on a 150BB bankroll

150BB downswings aren't uncommon on LL tables. Your RoR is much higher than 1%.
