Default New Record!

I just currently surpassed my previous record. I'm now on 13 OTM in a row, and counting. In the past 300 games I've already had a 12 OTM in a row streak. Ohh variance.

Congrats

This was just my question are SNGs really streakying?

My first 25 SNGs I thought I was hot [censored]. 60%+ ITMs, ROI > 120% and 4 1st in a row. But boy the poker gods giveth and taketh away. When I'm all in with QQ somebody else has KKs. I call the loose small stack with my JJ vs his 10 10 and the button calls with A6off and wins. On the bubble I push with Ad5d suited after a AK3 rainbow and am called by 2nd place stack with A6off.

I've finished out of the money 15 times in a row and starting to wonder what the heck is going wrong.

If anything my play is tighter (although still lose by the board standarder) than when I was winning. ROI is still 44% but.. At what point to I chalk this up to bad play vs luck?

Yes.

Over my first 100 tournaments for the month of December, I had a -0.9% ROI for a total loss of -$20.
Over my next 100 tournaments, I had a 42.7% ROI for a profit of +$940.

This is not at all unusual, IMO.

Consider: ONE change from 4th to 1st in a 100 tournament sequence changes your ROI for that 100 by 4.5%.

17 YIKES!!!

I was going to post asking what everyone's record is for the longest OTM. Well I have two answers, and they are mighty scary.

What $ level are you guys playing?

This was at the 33's. You should have seen my girlfriends reaction when I told her I lost over 500 dollars in 3 hours.

Do you guys think you would have lost 15 in a row if you were not multitabling?

If you were specifically concentrating on each game (if they only took place one at a time) do you think you would have played anything differently?
