How many big blinds did you lose? What stakes?

I'm on a heck of a downswing, and want to see what others have experienced. I know limit is around 300 bb's for downswings. What's your worst downswing?

10 buyins at 600nl over 8k hands. At least 1/2 is set over set. UGH.

I've taken three stabs at NL200 on Stars and gotten crushed due to a combination of running very poorly, some bad overall play, bad timing and one buy-in due to pure tilt.

I estimate 6 buy-ins over 1,500 hands. Which is, obviously, quite ugly.

Edited, I think my original estimate was too high.

12 buyins for me despite being 9bb/100 after 60k hands. Happens and it sucks

I'm in a slump now. I think I'm down around 4k. Started at 3/6, but I've cut back to 2/4 and some 1/2. Still sliding, tho...

What's my plan? I'm going to read / reread more poker books. This way I'll have less time to lose my money playing. Heck, I might even get better!

lol, I really have no reason to lie. I seven table so it was probably over the course 20K+ hands but it definitely happened.

I'm right in the middle of my worst- about 12 buy ins over past 12K hands or so (2-3 weeks) at NL 200. I'm jumping back down to the 100 for a few weeks and gonna set peddle for a while. Need the confidence boost.

Edit: 14 buy ins if you count the cost of the chair/ottoman combo I smashed and the flowers/dinner for my wife to make up for it after the last suck out.
