I usually two table 5/10 6-max. Once I'm more comfortable with it i'll probably add a 3rd though. FWIW, I'm just recovering from my biggest slide, which was about 280 BB in 10 days or so.

Yes. I two table. Its as much as my brain can cope with to be honest. Plus i can watch TV at the same time without missing much.

If you found a way to lose over 300+BB in 2/4 on party..... you might have bigger problems than just "bad beats" FYI... The 2/4 is very soft on party...

I lost just over 200BB at $15/$30 in late-May-early June. Did not enjoy it at all, since I had just quit my job for poker.

I have recovered though - +700bb in the last five and a half weeks!!! Woooooooooooooo!

I must really suck. My biggest losing streak has been about 140BB over two weeks at 3/6 (a feat I've managed twice).

True, but it is an extremely volatile limit there.

After about 450,000 hands (this dates back to 1998) my worst losing streak is 167 BB's, which happened this last Jan-Feb. My biggest slump also happened in that time (about six or seven weeks, ranging over 45,000 hands and stretching from sometime around Christmas to sometime just before Valentines day) after which I was about 900 BB's below expectation.

Before that run I never really knew how bad it could get-- and now that I know, I'm forever humbled.

Also, I've been reading some of the responses and personally I don't think these 200+ BB downswings are normal. Yeah, it's possible that I've just had a relatively swing-free 450,000 hands, since I've also never booked a massive winner in that time (by massive I mean a 75+ BB session). But when you're dumping 200+ BB's I think it's better not to just chalk it up to the evil doings of the bitch goddess of variance, and instead start taking a close look at your play.
