Longest losing streak

What is your longest number of losing sessions in a row?

#2 18th January 2009, 4:23 AM

If you're referring to not getting into the money, I'd have to say now, and probably around 17-18 tourneys..

getting a little disheartened, but..

"Thats Poker" (Anyone hat this saying as much as I do?)

10 or so. When that happens I play some easier to ITM games like a 9 player sng just so I can win something and break the streak.

Sessions: longest losing streak at single table tournaments was 15 in a row, and i'm a winning sng player overall.

Days: longest losing streak in daily results was 6 consecutive days about a year ago.

Months: overall had only 3 losing months, none consecutive, over the 18 I played so far. Only very minor losses anyway. In my case, a month seems to be long enough to garantee i'm not in the red overall.

Im on 7 straight losing sessions...live poker. Roughly 27 hours. And while I can account for some of the losses from mistakes, there are quite a few sessions/hands where decisions were fine, I just lost.

But, I went back into my 2008 records and found a stint of 15 out of 17 sessions were I lost and the 2 wins were really small. It was roughly 90 hours of play. And 2008 was a winning year for me.

I guess my memory is just bad since I really didn't realize I had a 15/17 streak in 08. My 7 in a row streak doesn't seem so bad now. Still frustrating, but not so bad.

i oh-for'ed like 20 turbo bounty tournaments on FT once and then ended up booking a 2nd on the 21st

#8 21st January 2009, 6:04 AM

Well, I'm 54 now, so that would make, say, 20 losing years before I woke up. By 'losing' I mean break even lol.

About a dozen sit and gos... man that sucked.

#10 21st January 2009, 11:23 AM

In SnGs / MTTs the most I've gone is 12 straight without cashing - that was playing HU shootouts, where there can be some kinda brutal runs.

#11 22nd January 2009, 3:27 AM

for me probably about 4 buy-ins at a ring table. I try to quit playing a little bit if i lose a few buy ins (so i won't go on tilt) and when i come back i usually do pretty well. One thing I also do is only play tourneys, and i usually will place after a few tries.

#12 23rd January 2009, 8:37 AM

Well tonight I posted a small win...$150 over 3 hours at 1-2 NL. Granted it is a small win, but I can officially state my 7 session losing streak is over.

#13 24th January 2009, 1:48 AM

My longest losing streak is about 10-12 session but again thats poker you win some and lose some.

#14 24th January 2009, 2:25 AM

not sure but probably a lot lol. I dont play all that often.

#15 24th January 2009, 8:31 AM

I usually have a huge beat then go on super tilt. I play micro levels, if i lose my buy in on the cash game i go crazy and chase losses. Luckily i havent done that in a while tho.

#16 24th January 2009, 11:34 PM

I think I lost 12-15 SNGs in a row without even cashing. That was an ugly, ugly streak.

I know guys that played literally millions of hands of LHE and had break even streaks of 60-70k hands or more. These were extremely good players, fwiw... to quote one of them, "the cards can be a lot crueler a lot longer than you ever imagined."

#17 24th January 2009, 11:37 PM

Longest loosing streak?? 30 years... but thats soon to change....im 31 next month

#18 25th January 2009, 5:32 AM

longest sng losing streak was about 9-10? back when i just started playing online, deposited 200, lost about 5 $11 ones, tilted, played the $24s, and blew the whole bankroll in a matter of a day. was 18 then. rash and stupid.

longest cash losing streak... was probably 12 buy-ins? at 1/2 stakes. had been up over $4000 before that, which says a lot about the skill level of people in my country. lol. quit live poker and shipped the rest of what i still had to various sites.

after a slow start, slowly getting even again.

Well if your referring to Mtt's I'd say close to about 100 or so (Really no kidding, which is the sad part). Yet that's just the way it goes, you can't win them all, can you? You can only strive to try to win them all!

#20 25th January 2009, 11:25 AM

Probably 10-12 9 person sit n go's.
