Default Re: The Running Bad Competition (NC)

I had a 3 month period starting in May where I lost 450BBs. I still don't have it all back.

Prior to that, I was 2+BB/100 at every level below 15/30 (1.6BB/100 there) over a total of almost 250K hands.

During the downswing I kept dropping levels and still losing. Eventually I got to 3/6 and was still only breaking even and began to think that I'd just been on a 250K hand hot streak and that I really wasn't a very good player. And then, boom, one day a it just kinda turned around and I've been steadily winning ever since.

For me, it was a good lesson in just how long the "long run" is in poker.
