winning players do not have a 38 OOTM streak

This is not true. Good luck to OP.

im pretty sure he meant that winning players playing their best game wont have a 38ootm streak. that is a SERIOUS stroke of bad luck if the streak happened by chance alone. id be willing to bet that this streak was tilt and or alcohol-tilt induced.

to the op: good luck with whatever you choose. if the game is no longer fun, then quitting is surely the best option. i have a hunch that ill see you back here though. from what ive read, it seems like you have a passion for the game.

donks dont finish OOTM 38 times in a row very often. Pokers been pretty cruel to you.

Anyways, your posts in the past have improved my game and I wanted to say thanks. I hope one day youll come back and win all the money that you deserve.

have fun on your break,
Brian

I would suggest playing a couple hundred $11’s.

Pwning the donks will do wonders for your confidence.

No. I dropped 40 buy-ins at the 11's after winning at the 33's and 22's (and 11's for that matter). Doing that after a 38 OOTM streak would make any sane person start hating life, not just poker.

You're not a quitter if you quit here. I'm quitting this game as soon as I don't need the money.

38 OOTM? It makes me cringe just to think about it. Then how much is a safe bankroll? I thought 30 or 40 buy ins was generally considered ok.

Hey guy, I sure as hell wouldn't want to play poker after a beating like that. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do.

Good luck,
Don

38? That's a real b1tch! Look, you got hit by the bad luck truck. Hard. Even the average to semi bad player would be very unlucky to get dealt this streak. One would really have to try hard to do that willingly.

Of course, I do not know how you feel right now. My worst streak so far is about 13. That felt already bad and I know that this is nothing out of the ordinary. Then, the next day, I went 1-1-1-3 in the first set 1-2-2-x in the next and all was well again.

Regroup a couple of days, step down, etc. Play ring games for bonii, etc.

Really. You don't like the game at all then? I would only ever quit if I absolutely could not afford to play. No way I would ever quit cold turkey.

applejuice,

I think you should calculate the chances of a 30% ITM, a 35% ITM, and a 40% ITM player finishing "out of the money" 38 times in a row.

I can single-table the 6's for fun. No one needs crap like 38 OOTM streaks while playing for more money per night than he makes in a month.

one thing I've always been curious about is what percentage of intellegent people start off in poker on the bad side off varience and just quit. and I mean the BAD side, those god awful 1000 game break even, 35 ish buyin slides, or 300 bb in limit.

I wonder how many would be able to work through something like that, and how many would just say "stupid game" and be done with it.
