Longest break even period?
I have been playing poker for several years now and have been successful at the low limits. Recently I have been roughly around even for a very extended period of time. I am just curious as to how long some of your guys' extended break even periods are. Currently I am roughly even over my last 10k hands. I had never experienced anything like this and was just curious if I can simply attribute it to variance or if I have possibly developped some leaks. Thanks in advance.

Last month at 3/6 I played 14000 hands and finished up at exactly 0.00 bb/100
I have had longer than this actually. It happens, no big deal |

Just finished a 15k break even last month.
It happens, but whether or not it is variance in your case depends on how good you are. Post hands. That is the best way to tell if you are on the right track. |

It sounds like these 10k breakeven stretches are pretty common. How do those of you who play for a living handle this (financially, not psychologically)? Do you just live off money you've saved up? Is this rare enough to not make much difference?

I have had 2 month runs of break even before though. Thats the importance of having a big enough roll to handle the inevitable blah periods. |

Re: Longest break even period?
When people say to go pro you should have a 500BB role and 6 months of living expenses saved up as the minumum requirement, they aren't kidding.
It's that important. |
