I have proven to be a winning player at 10-20 running just below 3BB/100 for several months. I just wonder how often these 400BB streaks should occur if i play fulltime? Fortunately I had the BR to handle the swing. Thanks

Have you been playing 1,000 hands per month or 10,000 hands per or 100,000 hands or what?

About 20-25k hands per month

Then I'd assume that you're a 2 BB/100 player who was running hot. A downswing of that magnitude probably involved some tilt, so I'd review lots of hands if I were you, but I wouldn't drop down.

I think this was a hypothetical question.. he isn't actually on that downswing.

That sucks.
I think they come very far apart.
Can't say anything for sure though.

I had prepared for streaks both mentally and BR-wise since I now make a living of poker /images/graemlins/cool.gif ,but this streak was bigger than I ever expected to have. Anyway, I took it quite well, no major tilt was involved (sometimes it's difficult to know if you're tilting slightly). I also had friends who are as good as me watch me play to prevent me from tilting unconsciously or changing my play.

I can assure you guys, these streaks can happen (and probably will) if you play long enough. I hope they don't occur too often though.

I think you managed to add nothing but idiocy to this thread.

I have printed out some of the really dumb posts, put them in a dessicator and had them freeze-dried. Now whenever I need an idiot thing to say, I just add water...
