Question about poker droughts

[dogmeat]

"Droughts", or periods when the cards just don't fall right can indeed last for long periods of time. In the past year and a half (I play for a living), I never had a losing month, but playing mostly online, I had a period of 37,000 hands where I only won $750. That's a hell of a long drought. Online that's about 6 weeks for me, but if I had been playing at a local B&M casino and only getting 40 hands per hour, well, that would have been 925 hours. For most players, that hourly amount would be about a half a year. Ouch!
