Nothing wrong with breaking even....Unless poker is your only income i guess. During bad streaks, or in this case even streaks, I think its good to take like a week off and just get active. Go to the gym, pick up some extra shifts at work, etc. I feel that when I take a break from poker, I come back and get some profits going/ turn things around.

You don't even want to know, to be honest. I had one that lasted over 500,000 hands and about 2 years. Almost 4 standard deviations from the mean and in one game of cash I was 125 100BB buy ins under all in ev and this didn't even tell half the story.

You lose every hand for extraordinary lengths of time. I had something like a 48% winrate on 70% favs and 62% on 80/20's over a HUGE sample. You even get silly shit like I hit the losing end of what would be a bad beat jackpot qualifier 4times over this stretch.

Some of this is documented if you want to look through my posting history you'll find a thread I used to update every few months. Anyway dude it can be absolutely sick and so far beyond what you would ever think is even possible. The game owes you nothing and just like some people can run above expectation for large samples, its possible to run under for a longtime even a lifetime unfortunately.

What you are going through now you'll run into quite often to be honest. Knowing it can be much, much, much worse will make it more palatable. gl

Your graph is above the Zero and moving in the right direction. Smile and know you are in the minority.
