Streaks... Most out of money on SNG (one table) in a row

[Uglyowl]

Wow are losing streaks tough. I am at 6 now and still going. How long are people's here's longest?

Losing 6 in a row is more common than winning two in a row, but it sure feels 10X worse.

I was forced to take a week long hiatus when I lost 17 in a row.

That hiatus conveniently coincided with finals.

2 weeks ago I won 6 in a row. Last week I didn´t make it into the money 12 consecutive times and 17 out 18 tourneys. These swings happen. So be prepared to have swings in your bankroll. But that´s no problem as long as you mannage to play your a-game while failing to succed.

Since not making it to the final 3 can get quite frustrating I usually mix it up with playing more cash games, which helps both, my bankroll and my level of frustration.

Best regards

I dropped 11 in a row this weekend and had a four day long horror stretch. I have played about 1000 tourneys and this was by far my worst stretch.

I finished fourth 7 of those 11 times (believe it or not), and it included a one outer, two outer, and four outer all ins which cost me the money. During the week I also lost one with a 93% chance to win on the flop and a 96% chance to chop* (which would have effectively got me into the money). I am partly stating this to get it off my chest, but mainly I want to know if other players have gone through stretches this bad with respect to beats. The reason I ask is I don't mind losing tourneys getting bad cards when I know I couldn't win, but I almost got physically sick this week losing these tourneys when I was in a commanding position.

My game suffered a small bit of tilt to be fair after some of the beats, but I am a pretty solid winning player and finish in the money more than 50%.

Unequivocally yes. I also have had some frightening swings recently, from 3 wins in a row to 12 losses in a row. And it was the same deal. I think I had my cards in as a favorite or at least a coin flip every single time in those 12 losses in a row. And it wasn't a situation of having won as a dog a few times to get to that point, either.

I had three tourneys in a row where I was either put out or almost put out on two-outers. This can be very, very frustrating.

I lost 9 of 11 last night and I went down as the underdog in most of them.

I'm betting that's the first time something like that has ever been said in this forum. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[twistedbeats]

i played 120 50$ s&g's on party, and my longest losing streak was 11, and i had that streak twice. i had one streak of four wins in a row, and another streak of 6 cashes in a row

[mr_jmac]

I played one hundred 9 player SNG's ... 5 losses in a row and it happened twice

[Guy McSucker]

I managed 11 in a row with no return once. I also managed 11 first places in a row once. I've been playing these things since they were first introduced on Paradise, three years ago I guess.

I expect bigger streaks than this as time goes by.

I've played over 1000 SNGs on Party at the $30 and $50 level and I believe my longest drought was around 14 in a row. My longest first place streak I think is only 4.
