Has anyone else ever dropped 12 buyins at 1/2 NL ????????

[Tornado69]

Is this even possible ? I've probably played about 60-70k hands at 1/2 NL since the end of last year and my last 6k hands have been just HORRENDOUS ... I never thought a downswing this bad at 1/2 could possibly happen ... anyone else ever go through this ? The most I've dropped previously was 5 buyins but this is just getting to be ridiculous ... suited connectors aren't hitting, and when I try and steal I'm getting caught. My big pairs aren't making me jack [censored] it seems. I truly feel like I've forgot how to play poker. Has anyone else ever been through this or a bigger one ?

I once dropped 3k in a week playing 1/2 NL live.

no noone ever has.

i can say categorically this is the biggest downswing ever experienced by a poker player.

I know 10 buyin or even up to 20 buyin swings happen but I never thought it would at this low of a limit. At 5/10 and up I'd expect it yes but this is just disgusting at this level.

I've seen a few of those, except for me the river is always a jack or 6 or 10. And the last 3 days I've had like 3/5 of those happen and lost when the $ went in preflop :@ Truly very frustrating. The worst feeling ever is the feeling of not really knowing if you really know how to play or not.
