Default Losing 5 times in a row with KK?

Has anyone bested this? I'm not complaining about bad beats, but I'm curious to know what sort of other bad streaks people have hit with cowboys.

I'm sure this has been bested thousands of times before.

Interesting. It happened to me playing limit though. Also, I can easily see someone being in the red playing NL, because you can lose so much on a single hand. I'm more curious about the length of an uninterupted losing streak.

So am I, but I want to know how far it can go.

P.S. My streak isn't over yet. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It can go on forever. Independant trials and so forth...

Now if you quantify standard deviations, then you can get a prescise, numerical answer. From Josh or someone mathy.

Eh - I've done this with AA before, so KK is no biggie.

Anyone remember the post about the guy who had AA three hands in a row, flopped sets all three times, and got runner-runner straighted all three times? They were all gigantic pots and he lost 34 BB in the three hands. So yeah, your KK streak just isn't too impressive.

Within the past week, I had a streak where I lost five times in a row with KK, for a total loss of 26BBs.

Funny, I was just wondering the opposite....last night over 200 hands I was dealt KK five times. They held up all five times, including two that hits sets and won massive pots against players who hit two pair.

That's a streak I'd like to continue....
