Quite possibly the worst short session ever?
 

kind of a BBV post, but also a inquiry into 6max LHE these days in general.

i have not had a session like this in a loooong time. some spewmonkey plays were thrown into the mix but after i realized i was losing a metric sh!t ton i put the screws down and was still getting destroyed.

30/60 6 max

510 hands.

Went to SD% 30.5/ Won $ At SD% 26.00

-$7,760 or 129.33 bb (-25.36bb/100)

I have played poker for what i feel is a pretty long time and i am pretty sure this is my all time single worst session and i challenge anybody to post their single worst session!

fwiw i can think of 3 other sessions where i have lost more than 100bb's, but none were over such few hands and short time period.

That HU match where you lost like 200 bb to a 2+2er wasn't worse? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

pretty much every time i play 6max its like 90 hands with a win at showdown below 30 then i remind myself to never play 6max again.

its kind of fun to do it on stars bc i can bring up the previous hands box and see no green and laugh

i do that on AP... its really depressing when you havent won a hand in like 50 hands playing 5-6 handed...

Re: Quite possibly the worst short session ever?
 

No clue what you guys are talking about. I'm pretty sure it's standard to win like 1 out of every 50 hands online or 1 hand every 2 hours live.

something kinda like this? this is pretty standard for me

So in general this occurs infrequently and your win rate doesn't effect the likelihood of it happening much. So it's kind of like getting struck by lightening. Not much you can do about it. Doesn't usually happen twice

yes but that was a really really long match that i also lost a lot to rake and got outplayed and it was one of the three times i mentioned. this one i could do nothing about.

Re: Quite possibly the worst short session ever?
 

bah you quit too early!

I've had worse than -129BB sessions before but my biggest loss post legilsation BB wise at 30/60+ is ~50 (not because i'm awesome but because i don't play it that much).

Usually if the game is good enough that i can dump that much $ that quick, i stick it out. I dropped about $4500 in a 15/30 game last week and no sleep til brooklyn made it most of the way back.

Of course i'd be FOS if i told you that always worked out. But I think i'm 2/3 in times I can recall doing this. Sundays = bad luck.

from early last month, my worst month of poker ever
I usually have a -100bb stop loss but the games were really good. probably should have quit anyways
