Wow.. lost 78BB over 460 hands. What are the chances?

[kurosh]

I had to stop playing I feel so disgusted. I've never been drawn out so much in my life. What are the chances of losing this much in only 460 hands?

[arkady]

been there, done that.

I've lost 50BB in less than 100 hands. Quit yer bitchin'.

[NotMitch]

30 BB is 60 hands (AA,AA,JJ,KK,JJ no good) last night at one table, it was awesome.

[sethypooh21]

Welcome to 6-max...

(And to answer your question, unusual but not terribly unlikely, even assuming you are playing at your 'true' level. I'm not a stats wonk, but -16.9 bb/100 is either within or just outside 1 SD from mean. Running 1 SD worse then usual for 500 hands is nothing much.)

[B00T]

Suck it up and stroke yourself or a pet rock in the process.

Be sure to post when you take down 100bb's in 500 hands.

[turnipmonster]

yeah lots of people (including me) can beat this handily. stop whining.

[Predator314]

-100BBs this morning in under 300 hands. It happens.

[Ulysses]

Maybe it's karma for ripping people off and not paying your bets like a man when you lose.

[kurosh]

Sorry if it seems like I'm whining. I just started playing 6-max and losing this much in such a short period of time is new to me.

Welcome to 5/10 6-max.

Btw, I played against you last night and I don't think you were playing at your best(tilt?).

You were definitely running bad: You had a VPIP of 12 and PFR of 6 in my hands against you, and that included a couple of questionably loose pre flop plays.

[kurosh]

Er, yeah I started tilting a bit after someone calling down with midpair tripped up for the 100th time so I stopped playing. Haha, I've been trying to loosen up. My normal VPIP is around 25 with a PFR of 17.

[kurosh]

Crazy swings. Just went back up 70BB over 420 hands. Meh, guess I'll have to get used to it.
