playing seriously:
1) six months
2) 100BBs at 2/4 online, 75BBs at 10/20 live

playing socially:
1) 4 years
2) around 1000 BBs of 5/10 probably... though that's not so much a losing streak as a losing player [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

1. This month marks my two-year anniversary.

2. 100 BBs the first time I made the jump from $.5/1 and $1/2 to $2/4 at Paradise.

3 1/2 years.

I had a two month losing streak. But it was only about $900.

I lost $2000 in one month.

longest consecutive loss was 5 sessions.

1: about 2.5 years (18 months with a clue and serious intent)

2: 179 big bets at 5/10 6-max since I started keeping records and approaching the game seriously.

If I go on a big losing streak (approaching 100 big bets in full games or 200 shorthanded) I play baby NL to regain my confidence and break the rut. Baby NL is fun and consistently profitable with minimal swings.
