I've played 350 hands today and I'm down 48 BB's which is an appalling 13.7BB/100. Every decent hand is being sucked out on by 2 outters. I've won 3% of my hands. I quit for today.

Just wondering how bad it can get?

You've been here for 8 months. You should know better than this. You might be running bad. But trust me, 48 BB's is nothing. Nothing.

Carry on.

10 times as bad. Your experience is but a drop in the bucket. Get used to it.

In one day? At limit? Over how many hands? That is 500 BB. Are you sure?

48BBs is nothing. I've had a ton of days where I have multiple 50BB swings. I dunno the most ive lost in a 24 hours period, prolly in the 150BB range. Anymore tho, I just quit if I drop in the area of 100BB in a day, cuz usually im frustrated at that point and prolly not playing very good poker anymore.

Losing 10 times 48BBs in a day would be a pretty big leak.

I think 120BB is the most I've lost in a day.

I lost 200 BB in a day once. Somebody here can probably beat that.

Lost 168BB ($3358) at party 10/20 6max in one session of 1468 hands.

09-20-2005, 12:24 AM

2 weeks ago I was 8 tabling 3-6 on Party and I got rivered on all 8 tables within 4 minutes of each other for a loss of 42 BB. Just when I thought I had seen all possible rough points of poker, it kicked me in the junk again.

On the other side (off topic), I did have 2 royal flushes yesterday. I have it posted it the probability forum to see if someone will figure the odds of that happening in a 1200 hand set.

120 BB was my one day highlight.

That's gotta rough up your bankroll a bit.

Worst I've lost in a day is about 90BB which isn't too bad. Over a period of 2 sessions I've lost over 150BB though.

I was up 170bb at one point during a day and finished down over 50. So, a -220bb streak in one day. Yuck.

This almost exactly describes my worst session ever. I only lost about 60 BB's that day though. I think my worst is probably about 100 BB's for a day.

I was up 165 one day and finished down 55. I guess we tie, but you sort of win...eh [censored] it, we both lose.

I lost 250 BB one day in May in 3000 hands. After that a friend called me and we drove to Commerce to relax and I dropped 25 BB at 8/16. I didn't vomit, but I cried.

dropped 50bb playing 5/10 yesterday when i shoulda been studying. not too bad but i was pissed off cause i should of been studying. instead, i lost $500, wasted 8 hours, and didn't study. now im fuked for midterms.

live play seems to produce sizeable swings as well. once i was up like 500 in 2 hours playing 8/16, i left DOWN 200.

another time i was up 300 playing 4/8, ended the session DOWN 200

Come back and read it when you start playing 6 max.

It will make you smile and laugh.

85 is my worst. Unfortunately it happened at the highest limit I've ever played.

~120bb at 3-6 6max over about 1.5-2k hands.

Lost 100BB in 600 hands the other day. It didn't end by me closing out the tables and shutting down the computer as much as it did me literally pulling the plug to the machine and going directly to bed amidst a flurry of profanities.

I HATE days like that. I still dont handle that very well psychologically, id rather just lose all day, than be up HUGE and end up even or down.

Not sure how many BB's I've lost, but back in my days of being an idiot with no BR managment I sat in a 15/30 table with a whopping 350$, proceded to lose almost all of it, then win it all back in about 2 hands. Wow, this had no relevance to anything what so ever. Oh well.

Worst day? Over 200BB's.

Worst stretch? Dropped 100BB's in 100 hands. When reviewing the hands in PT, there was no hand I really overplayed, and to save BB's, I would have needed to make folds like top 2 or better for 1BB on the river - that sort of thing. I actually couldn't even find a starting hand where the flop was seen where I could have won had I chosen to play some goofy 72o or such.

Basically, it can get a lot worse.

100BB swings happen all the time in online, multitabling poker. Had one memorable 100BB swing that took place in under 30 minutes. Was down $500 at 5/10-SH, and finished up $500. Crazy night.

OMG, What will you do?

I played 450 hands at Party today and had a win % of 3!

It happens.

FWIW, I went through 200+BB at $30/$60 a couple weeks ago (and yeah, I cried too), but then, just like Mary's lambs, all those BB's came home when I left them alone - they even brought some friends with them. That's how poker works.

Have had that happened twice. Hell monday I was down 60BB and ended up 40BB by the time I finished.

If I get stuck more than 100BB I usually stop for the day. I think my most I've lost in a day is 120BB. 60BB doesn't really make me flinch anymore.

60bb in 8-10 hours of live play.
