Losing streak

gunslingner · #1 07-15-2005, 10:58 AM

Ok, i know that no one likes bad beat stories but i just cant
calm down. Party is driving me nuts.

For the last three days I lost boat to a higher boat, flopped set of 8s to a flopped set of Queens, flopped set of Queens to a flopped set of Aces, str8 to a nut str8,and nut flush to a str8 flush.

I would appreciate if u guys told me about a worst case of losing streak you ever had, because right now i feel like THE unlikest person on earth [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

10 buy-ins of pure bad beats is my worst. It happens.

I broke even for about 7k hands in may/june. That is 35 hours of 4-tableing 10-max or 140 table hours. Three days is nothing.

Well 3 days for me is 3K hands, I 3table party25.

I forgot to mention the hand where i raised AA and there were three 9s on the board by the turn. Guess what, he had K9 [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]. Actually I was break even after all those hands, but the QQQ vs AAA (last of the mentioned hands) hand sent me on tilt for the first time in months and i lost two buyins due to bad decisions. But yeah, its not 10 buyins...

I've never had a true losing streak. A few buyins at most to bad beats, the rest was bad play.

20+ buyins. Twice. But I suck. Only about 8 buyins total was dude to bad luck, I think. But the luck was horrendous. I lost to a one outer twice. In a row.

Yeah, I probably used the wrong term, its not really a losing streak, i wouldev been break even if i wasnt on tilt after the last of bad beats.

Its just that I didnt have so many bad beats during such a short sample of hands.

Hope it made me stronger [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Down $3K in 5 months of live 1/2 NL games (playing about twice a week, $100-$200 buyins). Some of that was getting outplayed in a tough 1/2 home game but I also lost $1700 in the super-soft Vegas 1/2 games in the course of a week.

Online, I'm currently down about 200PTBB over my last 3000 hands almost completely from bad beats or unavoidable situations (set over set, AA vs. KK on ragged boards, stuff like that).
