Default Re: Limit Hold\'em - loose 10k hands in a row?

Your friend is semi-right. It is possible to lose 20,000 hands in a row but so unlikely (assuming fair deals and not folding your winners on purpose) that it can be dismissed. A 10K or 20K hand downswing doesn't mean you don't win a single hand, it means you are a net loser over 10,000 or 20,000 hands.

There is math for how likely an x/100 winner is to experience a y-hand downswing but I don't remember it off the top of my head.
