Inconceivable losing streak

#1

Hi everyone:

I'd like to hear from all of the full-time players here the worst month of play they've ever experienced (in terms of # of coins lost, being that many of us play for different stakes), and how long it took to recover those losses. I ask because I'd like to get a handle on how long it's going to take me to recover from the losses I'm currently experiencing.

This month, I've played about 180,000 hands and have lost about 30,000 coins, including comp return. The vast majority of these hands were played on FPDW, NSUD, and pNSUD (playing the latter two on days with lucrative promotions, of course). To cover all bases, yes, I can play each of these games very close to computer perfect, and yes, my bankroll is still intact at the stakes I play for.

Thanks guys,
James

How can your bankroll "still be intact"? Sounds like it's missing 30,000 coins. Just a flesh wound? Are you sure you've stopped the bleeding? As for trying to win that loss back, if you have a 1% edge, then on average it will require 3,000,000 coin in to win it back. Of course, you may not have the edge you think you do, and this is gambling, not a sure thing (or near sure thing) like the 6% dividend on AT&T stock. Maybe you've picked the wrong horse, maybe AT&T would be a better horse for you. You never know, until after the fact of course. Gambling is gambling after all.
