Beat: This is since October 1st. I'm close to going insane. I've had one losing month in 2 years and now I can't even put a winning session together. If I do happen to win I can be guaranteed I will lose all my winnings and more in the next session. Basically every session is like this: Get AA a few times, everyone folds. But everytime I get AK and raise I get 2+ callers and almost always miss and get floated. Get KK and stack off to someone who has AA. Raise a mid PP, flop a set and lose to an over set. And inbetween I have a few hands where I win enough to stay even. It's like it never ends, I feel like I need the absolute nuts to win. How common are stretches like this in full ring? I'm new to full ring (used to play 6max) and this is driving me crazy. Also, this graph is mostly 100NL with a little 200NL. I [censored] hate poker right now. /rant

[Johnes Benjamin]

The variance should be a lot greater at 6max than FR.
That said, 40k hands at breakeven sucks a lot but it is not out of the question. I don't have that many hands but I think many of the really prodigious grinders have had similar stretches

[Das Budrick]

hooray for coolers that go your way

he timed all the way down after my flop raise so I decided to call and let him stab again on the turn?
