I had to stop playing I feel so disgusted. I've never been drawn out so much in my life. What are the chances of losing this much in only 460 hands?

I've lost 50BB in less than 100 hands. Quit yer bitchin'.

30 BB is 60 hands (AA,AA,JJ,KK,JJ no good) last night at one table, it was awesome.

Welcome to 6-max...

(And to answer your question, unusual but not terribly unlikely, even assuming you are playing at your 'true' level. I'm not a stats wonk, but -16.9 bb/100 is either within or just outside 1 SD from mean. Running 1 SD worse then usual for 500 hands is nothing much.)

Suck it up and stroke yourself or a pet rock in the process.

Be sure to post when you take down 100bb's in 500 hands.

-100BBs this morning in under 300 hands. It happens.

Maybe it's karma for ripping people off and not paying your bets like a man when you lose.

Sorry if it seems like I'm whining. I just started playing 6-max and losing this much in such a short period of time is new to me.
