Default those sick break even stretches

Im currently playing 100NL. I got like 15k hands in so far, not much really. But i ran well. Then i proceed to read the forum, and read about pple killing the game for 100k hands and more, and then breaking even for 50K+ hands. That kinda stuff scares me, and i always wonder, will it happen to me? And how much does luck have to do with it?

So for you mathematics, is it likely that i run good the next 100K hands or so and then suddenl have a sick sick break even stretch?? That is if my edge is just as big as the last 100k hands, and not start tilting all the time and all.

I dont think i can handle breaking even for that long and keep playing well.

I'm no mathematic, but I'd say it's unlikely but not unreasonable.

The higher you play, the tougher it gets and the more likely you will have longer periods of break even poker. Since you play 100nl, a 50k break even stretch is highly unlikely (unless you play bad obviously) but a 20k break even stretch is not out of the question.

I am pulling these numbers below based on personal experience so dont look to far into them.

When worst comes to worst considering you grind these cash game levels a significant amount you can expect;

40k+ Break even at 200nl
60k+ break even at 600nl
80k+ break even at 1knl
