On a 30,000 hand downswing.....

krazyace5 · #1 12-21-2005, 01:40 AM

I know I have to attribute some of this to sloppy play from stress/tilt, or what have you.

But I honestly think and attribute a majority of it to the fact that I have just been having the worst luck lately.

Is this possible or am I fooling myself?

Definately possible, I have had a bad month and have played more than 60,000 hands.

Possibly but unlikely. I can't realistically see having a downswing or losing for more than 10K hands. I might be being naive i suppose. If you average 60-80K hands a month then it is probably more likely it seems, IMnaiveO

I think that is impossible in no limit.. Swings can be big, but they don't last that long

I run bad once monthly for 5 buy-ins. It's my standard line. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I ran bad for what I guess about 15-20 K hands. 30 is running really really bad and it wont continue as long as you cut out the sloppy play and tilt.

After running bad for that time I thought I was the worst poker player of all time, disgusted with myself, and pretty much thought I was an idiot. The next month I won back everything I lost plus more, so dont lose hope.

My longest losing streak took about 3000 hands when the curve went down all the time. After that it started slowly rising and reached the startpoint in the next 5000 hands. I can't see how anybody could have a 30000 hands of pure downfall... Guess you gotta play the next 30000 hands to get on your own.

Are you trying to say your biggest downswing was 3k hands?

When I watch my pokergrapher, the biggest downfall in the curve is 3000 hands of losing. First hand that counts is the hand when my bankroll was at it's highest and the last hand was when the bankroll reached it's bottom. I could not bare the idea of having 30000 hands with negative slope all the time.

All in all it took me 8000 hands to get back to the point where my bankroll was at it's highest before the downswing.
