Good times...

Let me say right off the bat that this is not a intended to be a whiny post about how unlucky I am. I do however currently have a streak of 11 flopped flush/OES draws that have not come in. Almost every one of those draws would have taken the pot and a few of the pots were quite large (>30BB). I know over time it will even out but it's still annoying.

What's your worst streak for not completing draws? Can this information be pulled out of pokertracker?

Yes, it is annoying, no sense focusing on this. What are you going to do, stop playing flush/str8 draws?

Whine. Whine. Whine. I'm so unlucky. Whine.

ok, i agree with you guys the tone of the post is whiny but that's really not how i intended it. i was curious how long of streaks some of you guys have had (if you keep track of that kind of thing that is). i'll go away now.

This will happen about 1 in every 100 streaks of 11 flopped OESD/Flush draws.

[edit - more to the point, 100 streaks of 11 = 1,100 draws. Each suited card has a 1/8.5 chance at flopping a draw. 1,100 * 8.5 = 9,350. This will happen about 1 in every 9,350 hands (fudge up a little for OESDs being less common and we'll say 10,000 hands).

That kind of puts it in perspective. Thanks.
