In terms of BB's my worst is 220 BB's at 5/10 6 max. I've had 5 or 6 200 BB losses in 16 months.

In terms of dollars it's $5,100 at 15/30 (170 BB's)

and in terms of time, it's 4 weeks of losing poker (down around $500 for the 4 weeks).

Ha. yea. Prefontaine/Spirit rock is currently 9-0 down in $5k tournaments at the moment. So that's $45k in one sitting.

My bloodbath continues. Another -42/BB today at Party.

Only another -3066BB at 3/6 to catch 1-800

I three-table and was ahead something like 6.67 BB/hr at $1/2 at about 15k hands, and a few thousand hands later I was actually in the negative. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Last week I shot down 130 BB in a single evening.

Now I'm back in the black at .94 BB/hr, but it's been brutally slow. It's taken me another 5,500 hands of on-again, off-again nightmares, and the whole process has been pretty trying. Amazing how just a day or two of bad luck, bad play, bad karma or whatever can take your stats and pretty much throw them right out the window.

Scary when you start to wonder if it's not just a few bad days that were the fluke, but all the rest of them.

I've definitely had worse streaks in live casinos though. The action I've seen online is usually pretty tame compared to live action, where people come to party and drink and shout, and crazy things happen to everyone's money.

Wow, David, being down for four weeks but only down $500 is almost like winning! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I've got character coming out of my ass, I don't need 20K more of it.

btw- that is awesome to lose 20k in a week. You've got to be a real man to shrug that one off.

You should have worked in the dotcom biz. I've seen people's net worth swing more than that before lunch :-) The guy I used to work for lost $750 million.

Negative 152 BB in a day (about 5 hours of play).
