60 days of losing

[PocketAces2008]

I've just recently quit my job and started playing fulltime. I've built a decent size bankroll the past 7 years playing partime and could play 20/40. Put it this way i lost 60 days straight and i dont get it. Does these losing streaks happen to everyone [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

yes it is possible

how many hands do you believed
youve played in this period?

post some hand histories

idk whether to attribute it
to variance or poor play

I think they do come along unfortunately. I went through a small bad streak of 2 months of completely being card dead. Hardly a hand to limp in with. I rechecked my play and I was simply very card dead. We are talking not even a suited 2 or gapper to play. Harly andy pairs. Probably not as many hours as you put in but still it was tough. Only good thing is that I really limited my losses and I beleive that I showed great patience and discipline during that time. It made me a lot better player in a way.

There is some old thread here somewhere about some guy who went through a really really long & bad losing streak. I think Bernie may know the one I'm speaking of. IT may be worth trying to find it and reading all the threads.

When I run out of gas I leave the game for a while. I return when I feel I am ready. One month or 6, it doesn't matter. I always play better when I come back after reflecting on my play.

I've had 20 in a row, but like Frond said, that was entirely due to being card dead.

It means that he doesn't keep good records. The chance of a break even player losing 20 sessions in a row is about one in a million.

i went on a 3 month bad streak after quitting my job. true story. i played pretty tight the whole time too. it got so bad that one day i turned quads and got nervous.

remember, jennifer harman a few years back had to borrow money. she said she went a year where she just couldnt win.

bad streaks r real.

Well whatever. What it means to me is that I was playing at no foldem tables and being dealt absolute garbage. Literally no playable hands. One time even 3 1/2 hours before I played a hand outside the blinds(I flopped top two with AQ and lost [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]). Anyway, it was 20 sessions over a 2 year period though most sessions were only 3-4 hours or so. I never even dropped more than one rack in a session because I was rarely getting dealt playable hands.

Is this online or live? I can't imagine losing 60 days straight live or anywhere near it for that matter. I don't think I've lost more than 5 days straight playing live.

This is live playing 10-13 hours a day
