What's your best run ever?

[ZeroGee]

Upswing in dollars / bets / whatever you want. How "well" have you run, before it starting to head back downhill by natural statistical fluctuation? I'm trying to put my recent results in perspective.

Thanks,

Barring a few minor losses, I once won about 400 BBs in a couple of weeks (and I have limited time to play), before being brought back to earth. I don't even consider myself to be a super-great player. I Just couldn't sit for 5 minutes without winning a hand (so it seemed). Frankly my biggest flaw is probably timidity (as in weak-tight), which goes to show that I was catching some great flops/draws over and over (and I had lots of 2nd best hands along for the ride). I must say it was a good feeling while it lasted. I've had very small swings (except a -100BB downswing all in one day) along with a pretty small profit since then. Much more boring (and revealing that I do in fact have plenty of holes in my game). Cheers.

my 4th month of playing poker online i won almost every session for a solid month and convinced myself that i could continue crushing the low limits while seeing 40% of the flops because "i was so much better than them post flop". Yes i was playing full tables and yes i moved up to 2/4 prematurely the next month and had my butt handed to me. sometimes winning is the worse thing in the world for your game believe it or not. I actually had to relearn everything from the ground up again because i picked up so many bad habits.

I once won 200 bucks before I started to go bad.

best day i had was on pokerstars where i entered 4 multi-tourneys and came in the money in all 4. results:

$20 NL 3rd $1260
$50 Omha 7th $220
$10 NL 2nd $1100
freeroll NL 8th no money but did come in 3rd in sunday tour.

it was the only time i have ever hit the board in the TLB top 5 weekly. Nice run for a sick day from work.....

Playing many hours each day at the 200 dollar single table tourneys, I've had huge swings in each direction. My best ever was in late December a few days after X-Mas this past year- I forget the exact results, but it was something like 10 tourneys entered, 7 wins, 2 seconds, and one loss. Won something like 6000 bucks that day.

Well one time a year ago I ran good for about 98.692 million dollars on party poker. Then I put it all in cd's and retired. Now I have a bankroll of about 5,000 and play 5-10 and some 20 dollar tournaments. But, for the most part I'm set up for life. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I had a good day at the Bike a few years back. I was playing LLHE. I won $100 at 1/2, $200 at 2/4, and $240 at 3/6. that's 140 BB's in about 12 hours.

too bad it wasn't in $1000/$2000 game...

About a 1000BB up without a 50BB down-swing is the best I've done. But I would like to thank a dear friend of mine - Lady Luck...

I had a 100BB upswing at $1/2 over 700 hands at Party whilst clearing a $100 bonus...happy days.
