BE Stretch

[crunny]

Can a 40K Break even stretch be because of variance, or is it more likely that i just suck?

Whats the longest BE stretch you have had?

20k.. man i am dreaming of BE stretch at the moment. I think we all agree that futuredoc is pretty handy at poker.. and i recall him posting a BE strecth of 30k+ right before he went on uber tilt and dived.

I spent about 2 hours looking at PT/Poker Grapher last night analyzing my play and trends that resulted, so it's kinda creepy that this thread showed up.

I had 2 noticeable 15-18k stretches that were break even in the past 4 months. Its pretty wild to look at the graph because it's like a heartbeat monitor. +/- 4 BIs for 15k+ hands! I've had exactly TWO "break even" stretches that were -10 BIs, but then +10 BIs, but I don't consider those, primarily because I was a drunk tilt factory losing 10 BIs, then a nit factory getting it back. HIGH FIVE for parabolas!

This may have been more frustrating since I was winning for nearly half of these hands, then losing for the second half...so when it was over I was very unhappy.
