Worst Sessions/Worst Months/Financial Ruin
I thought it would be good to create a thread where everyone posts there worst poker moments, mainly financial, whether it be having a tragic tilt day, a terrible month(s) of cards, days of thinking 'i had so much more wealth only a few days ago' etc.
This is becuase so often if i have a down biggish down session i feel very annoyed, mainly due to the injustice i have experienced at the poker table, and i find the best cure is to read about others misfortune. Ill start; August 2005; the first two weeks having my best run at 1-2NL winning just over $2000 (10 buy ins) and then having by far my worst downswing ever of about the same total (10 buy ins) Since then ive never recovered the win rate i experienced from Nov04-August05. I hope one day it will come back to me. |

August 29. My city flooded.
Bad beats happen. Deal with it. |

Re: Worst Sessions/Worst Months/Financial Ruin
I broke my all time session record, going +7800 in a 10 hour session of live 30-60 limit, and immediately followed it by a week in which I took my largest loss ever, going -11200 in a single week of playing live 40-80 (maybe 18 hours of play total)
I'm taking a few days off now, I've never had swings even close to that big. |

Re: Worst Sessions/Worst Months/Financial Ruin
Past 35k or so hands have been incredibly streaky for me, lots of horrible beats which lead to some poor play. Down a little bit (was down alot but made it back) after 35k hands. Previously I was at about 65k hands with 6.5ptbb/100 :/

Re: Worst Sessions/Worst Months/Financial Ruin
last weekend i ended up losing these hands:
AA vs. AJ, approximately $50. flop is QTK. AA vs. TT vs. Q4o wtf?? whole board is diamonds; dick with TT has the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] another $50. KK vs. TT vs. QJs: T on flop; running jacks, they both suckout in a $117 pot. then in a tourney i get ducks in late position, table folds around to me, i call, sb folds, bb checks. flop is AA2. he bets 400 chips, hes got the ace and i know i got him. i push; he quicky calls and its running 10s [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] yeah, i lost about $200-$250 that 2 day span. |

Re: Worst Sessions/Worst Months/Financial Ruin
i've been shut out of my last 8 sit & go's, and 14 out of 15. also just busted out of the 40K guaranteed when my top 2 pair (AQ) loses to a flopped set.
ok, not financial ruin or death and destruction, but it still sucks. |
