On a 17,000 hand downswing.....

Anyone else in a downswing right now?

Re: On a 17,000 hand downswing.....

I've played over 300,000 hands and I've been in a downswing the entire time.

Re: On a 17,000 hand downswing.....

I cannot even discribe how bad mine is.....flopping the second nuts on a regular basis, while villian flopping the nuts....runner runner outs on heavly bet flops..the list just goes on and on. I Started with 250$ turned it into 9K playing several different NL limits, and now down to 5.5K. I know that sounds lame, but the down swing is just brutal in the way its happening.

Yes. Honestly I've forgotten what it's like to run good.

OK, this HAS to be the record. Holy [censored]!

Re: On a 17,000 hand downswing.....

doesn't Soiler have this beat?

Re: On a 17,000 hand downswing.....

not sure soiler ever lost at -4.4bb/100 over 17k hands. his drop was bigger but much more spread out IIRC

OP: i'd move down and examine my game very carefully, that is troubling

I have moved down, been getting this stuff lately- lots of getting my money all in on the turn with the flush only to have villains 2 pair fill up, lots of crap like that.

Will be going thru my big losers now as well.

Re: On a 17,000 hand downswing.....

ah this is NL, forget I said anything I have no idea what this graph means

just a little honestly hopefully no offense taken

No offense at all, any constructive feedback is appreciated.

I just went thru some big losers with AA and I did find 2 hands where I could have lost alot less with. But I have been getting alot of this lately.

Yea same here.

I think we need a BBV split for LHE, NLHE and tourneys.

Re: On a 17,000 hand downswing.....

LHE and tourneys should just be excluded. Their beats suck.

I like how there were a couple large upswings thrown in too make you think your hell was about to end. That is a nice touch thrown in by the variance gods. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
