What is your longest breakeven/loosing stretch? This of course has alot to do with ROI so state that too if you can /images/graemlins/smile.gif The reason im asking is that i am now up to 300STT:s where i have run practically even (ROI 4-5% at the 10+1$). I know its stupid, but it would be comforting if others have gone through the same so i know its not due to a complete meltdown of my game.

That's the longest for me. But up until today, it was a losing streak, not a break-even streak.
I do consider myself a winning player... my ROI at the 22s was 20% over about 550 tournies.
P.S. - If I wasn't such a lazy donk, and got a rakeback deal, I would be up at the 33s!
210 breaking even isn't anything too bad, although dropping 30ish units in 50 sngs is /images/graemlins/wink.gif
Breakeven at my first and only 500 $33s. I think I remember raptor saying he broke even over 700-1000.

Biggest is around 100, but I've had 4 such stretches in about 900 tournaments. My overall ROI is not record breaking, but very solid.

Microbet... you could have told me your ROI was 40% at to 215s and I would have believed you.
Not sure why. I just respect your posts and correlate your play with them.

My longest (and pretty much only) breakeven streak is 500 Sng. All other big drops I have made up again very fast.
Longest streak without a 5 buyin drop is 300 SnG.

You're very astute, unless you're yanking my chain. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
I mean, thanks.
But, I'm strictly a work in progress.

i'm in my worst (and only downswing) at 50+5:
last 600 SnGs is -30 buy ins. i just cant win. i had a 20 game stretch of 50% ITM, but all 3rd thus still -10% ROI. Poker gods are humoring themselves...
all other times i've had a winning month at 50+5.

My first four-hundred tournaments in the $30s where I embarked upon a mission from the $20s led in a 400 tournament break-even streak. It was not pretty, it could have been worse.
p.s. micro, finally got a good avatar back
My worst over a short period of time is 26 buyins at the 55s over a 70 tournament period.
My worst over a long period of time is 35 buyins at the 22s over a 220 tournament period.

Just for the retro avatar post. Since I went to the trouble to photoshop my superman into a poker chip, I'm definitely going back.
And welcome back. Hope Europe was a blast. I had fun there when I was a wee little one like yourself.

Just last week I got through a 250 tournament losing streak at the $50s. It wasn't anything spectacular, but after getting a major heater of 40% roi over my first 200 tournaments and feeling like I was invincible then bleeding off some of those winnings over 250 tournaments it was painful.
