Default Re: down over 70k hands

just curious, do you mean "-700 excluding rake" as in you are actually down something like $5700, but 5000 of that is rake, because that is very different from being down 700 after the rake (i.e. being down 700 net).

No...I'm making just over 2k a month in rake so I'm still up about 1400 altogether for the month...but I don't like to count it because it's just free money I'm not actually making it 'playing' the game, so...without it I'm still down over a huge # of hands.

the biggest downswing i've seen a winning player take is about 18k hands. It's very common for players to go through 10k at even/slightly below, but that includes the rake.

You must not know very many winning players then. I'd say half of the players I know have had worse than 18k losing streaks.

I know for sure of two very very very big winners on this forum who have endured 30k+ hand slides.
