Default What\'s your worst one day downswing?

I just had a NASTY day. 1.3k hands, -80BB at 5/10 6max. Puts me down 110BB for the weekend, after being 3.5BB/100 for the previous 10k hands. AA being run over by big blind garbage consistently, AA being rivered by AKo, AA being outdrawn by JJ and QQ simultaneously, gutshot chasing morons getting obscenely lucky with their 46o cold calls, etc etc. It was terrible! But I know many of you have had even worse days. I think I read Evan say he had a 120BB downswing last thurs (right?). What about the rest of you? What is your worst? Were you just getting sucked out, or were you making mistakes?

150BB is my worst day, around 2000-2500 hands -- mixed between 6max and 2/4. There was definitely some bad play, but I still have a screenshot to remind me of how it can go:

I'm down 125 BB over 1.3 K hands 5/10 6-max tonight, and I broke even yesterday over 2.4 K hands. That's after begin +1.7 BB/100 for the 40 K previous. I also played with some of the biggest fish I have yet seen. That's Poker.

I guess i'm not the only one then. I'm at the bottom (hopefully) of a 140BB downswing at 5/10. Today is the most i've ever lost at 89BBs over 2400 hands. I guess this happens, but I only have 8600 hands at 5/10 and my bankroll isn't as big as it should so it really hurts.

You guys are such babies.

Go search the forum if you want this question answered and pray that stripsqueeze does not see this post. 89 BB is not even enough to make any experienced 6-max player bat an eyelid. Sure 100 BB in a day is not nice, but it happens a lot more than you are prepared to believe. Considering just how much this gets discussed on this forum why on earth do you think it needs yet another crybaby thread?

I don't play anywhere near as much as some on the forum, and I have had at least two -125 BB days in the last month. Annoying, but by the next session it was forgotten and back to business. Go away, come back when you lose 200 BB, get insulted again and come back when you lose over 300 BB and maybe get some respect.

[/ QUOTE ]

you have no idea what "NASTY" is

"NASTY" would be doing around 230BB's multi tabling 20/40 short for a couple of hours

if you really think this is nasty get a bigger bankroll
