Longest you have survived in a tourny w/o winning?

Just beat my record! I'm wondering how much of a record this is compared to other people.

Just to make it fair, it has to be a 1500 chip 15 minute blind tourny.

55 hands

seen
1/6 on BB
1/7 on SB
4/42 on others

won
0/1 on showdown
0 pots won w/o showdown.

By an odd coincidence, I am actually playing in one right now where I am 32 hands in and have yet to pick up a single pot.

Won`t go much longer, though. I am looking for a spot to shove in the next round or so.

I reckon your 55 is probably not very unusual on a day when one is running really cold.

Update: Doubled up, hand #38.

You must not make it very deep in tourneys, 55 is a very low number of hands

EDIT: Nevermind what I just said, I misread the first post lol

Bluff more...

Ha ha, I thought exactly the same thing.

I tend to get my first winning pot out of the way early on, never like to have a dry spell even if the deck is being a bit cold towards me.

When the blinds rise a bit, certainly, one can maintain one`s stack by bluffing and stealing almost without regard to the cards. But in the early levels the risk/reward ratio isn`t there.

55 hands are too less to complain

I would guess that I'd be near that 55 hands without winning a pot number.

Not a number I dwell on though.

0 hands.

All-in first hand every time is the only way I roll.

^^^ lol

Yesterday, late in first hour before I picked up a single hand worth calling. Didn't make much off of it but enough to get back in the game after the break. No idea how many hands but it was only a couple of hands before the 1 hour break.

( I did take a couple pots from the blind w/ stone cold bluffs though)

...cant say that i lose much...just the HUGE POTS...other than that, i don't know...iui.

happens to me quite frequently,unfortuneatly

this is definitely not a complaint, there are times i get 7-8 pots w/ 20 hands seen, that's just the other end. i bluff all the time, but when all you are getting is J3o and people are 4-5 betting in front of you relentlessly prior to blindsteals (everything working perfectly against you), it happens.

best hand i had was 77, i made it 5x to go, got 2-3 callers, 3 overcards on flop

NJ by the way on that double up ET

This is an easy one.Ultimatebet!,you can play 4-6 hours in a tourney and you will get donked right before the money everytime.It happened to me there 1 too many times,thas why i will not play there at all,cancelled my account n all.
