4000 hands is absolutely nothing. I have had a breakeven streak of over 30k hands.

That seems to be fairly significant. You need to present some data SUPPORTING your hypothesis that 4000 hands is nothing.

Ouch, just ouch....

I'd probably give up poker, the scary thing is how consistent the downswing is.

Usually a winning player should be up after about 100 hands.

Check out my .50-1 six max numbers.

1306 hands
109.5 BB won
8.38 BB per 100
Im sweet
