Default Re: Big Loss in One Session

I was playing 15/30 live on Tuesday. I got down $1900 (>60 BB), didn't tilt at all, and came back to post a winning session. It took 12 hours, but I did it. It's certainly, very possible to post a 50 BB losing session without doing anything wrong in a live setting. It's tremendously frustrating when it happens, but if you really know you're playing well, it will turn around in the long run.

Playing on the internet, I've had streaks that were much longer than that (-400 BB over a month at one point), despite being a winner in the long-term. Basically, luck plays a lot bigger factor in your short-term results than most people believe or would like to admit. If you know you're consistently playing better than your opponents, just keep chipping away.
