Question on running bad
What's the longest you've run bad - in terms of hands, OR PT BB's, if that's how you measure it?

Re: Question on running bad
My longest is about 10K hands of break even poker.

Re: Question on running bad
more than 50k hands where actual results are significantly less than equity calculations would indicate.

Considering Iceman's very tight/straight forward style in full ring games which until very recently were 2/4 or below, this is not an unreasonable #. One of the benefits of TAG is that variance is very, very low compared to LAG.

Ive had one 8 buy in down swing, 1 6 buy in down swing and quite a few 4 buy in losses. The most frustrating streak was the 10K hands of break even poker. I dont think this is that outrageously unbelievable considering how tight I play preflop. |

[/ QUOTE ] Im still playing very tight, but since moving up to $5/$10 last month, Ive strayed quite a bit from "straight forward" play post flop. My variance has gone up some, so I may see some bigger swings in the future. |

Re: Question on running bad
OK..didnt mean any disrespect. I'm so used to 6max that it kinda narrows my thinking on this subject. I guess playing super-tight full ring will allow a good player to have such low variance.
