Default 50K hand breakeven streak

The day of the Party network split marked the end of the poker gravy train for me. Over 175K hands, I was a 3BB/100 winner - about half at .5/1 FR and the other half at 1/2 6m. I have taken a few shots here and there at 2/4 and 3/6 short, but I never seem to run well when I take shots, so I stay in my comfort zone.

Anyways, I have no idea what happened. I play the exact same game I did over those first 175K hands. My went to SD is about 2-3% lower over the last 50K hands, but can you really run bad for 50K hands in a game you beat that soundly? Prior to the Party split, my biggest downswing was 200BB. Post Party split, I've hit a 300+ and a 250+.

No fun. I keep waiting for the gods to turn the switch back on, and it never happens.

Yes.

And don't lie. You aren't breakeven.

Please move up to 2/4. Your bankroll has to be big enough that you can do more than take shots.

Heh, no. You are up 100 bets. It's an insult to those of us that have had real breakeven streaks to call streaks where you win BBs breakeven.
