Big Loss in One Session

[DougL]

Was this live or on-line? What were the game conditions like? Where do you rate yourself among the other players, 5th best out of 9?

Over a 9 hour session, a loss like this is possible regardless of how well you play. If you're a break even player, this loss is more likely because you don't have a $32/hour trend pulling you up. You should be able to find many good posts on variance to get the math on how likely this loss is based on your EV and stdev.

Sorry to hear about your bad day.
