60 days of losing
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]

Re: 60 days of losing
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 |

Re: 60 days of losing
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. |

Re: 60 days of losing
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.

Re: 60 days of losing
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. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |

Re: 60 days of losing
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.
