Default possibly the worst poker day

I'm sure everyone here's had one incredibly bad day or another...but perhaps none as poetic as mine.

The numbers:

9/18/2004
$5/10 at Taj
3hr 25min
260 dollars gone
1 winning hand -- including rabbit hunting, wouldve/couldve/shouldve hands
1 royal flush -- $25 pot
5 hours driving

Am I just another low limit player lamenting about a bad day? Or does this deserve some recognition--whatever that means--as one of the worst you've heard?

Feel free to comment

I've had 4 sessions in the last week in which I've lost more money in less time at 3/6 party, there's nothing to worry about.

26 BB's in 3.5 hours is nothing.

26 BB in 3.5 hours? Figuring (conservatively) 30 hands an hour, you played 105 hands.
Round down some more. Say one hundred.
You only won 1/100 hands? And you ONLY lost 26 BB? I think you are playing too tight. You should have lost more.

Nice royal flush.

Maybe you didn't slowplay your royal enough.

-35BB in 2 hours at 3/6. I don't think I won a single hand, so your day actually sounds quite pleasant compared to mine...

reading some of your posts are therapeutic.. thanks, this helps... zero wins in my first 95 hands at 3/6 Party Poker tonight. I got RagRag-Unsuited for 2 hours... a few rounds of 4-way Pre-Flop Caps with my small pocket pairs that never hit mixed in and you have a nice recipe for a shitty Saturday night...

won a big pot with a King high flush vs Queen-high so cut it to -25 BB's...

good news, I won all my 'showdowns'... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] LOL
