This is today's session. Actually it's the same session I have every other day. Over and over and over. And, hey, I was playing pretty well. I'm not sure I believe this ridiculousness will ever end. Ok, no more self-loathing. Time to get ready for my next session [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]...

i just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

losing 4 out of 7 showdowns with full houses is not fun.

Three of the showdowns I lost with full houses were within 5 hands...

I can totally empathise, if that's any consilation. I'm at 40k breakeven hands, I think I should be out of it this month, with any luck....

Apart from the massive downswing every other day, it's the complete drought of upswings which is equally depressing [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Variance is truly amazing and unfortunately we are never "due" to snap out of a downswing. Although it is very unlikely, there is no rule that says we can't continue to run bad as your experience indicates. After you had about a 35K hand breakeven stretch, who could ever have imagined that you would follow it immediately with another one. I hope you run at about 10BB/100 for the next 70K.

Now that's just pessimistic. The way I see it we are always due to snap out of a downswing.

just imagine if this was your first 70k hands... would you have continued?

C'mon ___1___, you can get through this. Stop letting L/TAGs suck out on you with 77 vs KK, and you'll be fine [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I know how you feel bro. The long run is loooooong. Gotta keep at it.

That was my first 70k. Except it was a 400BB straight down, then slow crawl back up.

Total and utter respect for hanging in there.
