What sorts of bad runs have you guys gone on? Like the worst you have experienced? This is for online poker, details such as initial buy-in, what you generally play and how much lost before coming back would be appreciated.

I went 20 or 25 tournaments on stars without cashing at the beginning of this year. Lasted for all my stars tournaments for over half this year. Made up for it in a big way recently though with a 2nd place finish.

in the past three months of LHE:

3 200BB downswings
5 other 100BB downswings


and all three of those months were winning months. stick at it, OP, you'll be fine.

If there are two things LHE players like, they are weed and pornography. The third would be kittens. LHE does not appear on the list.

It's cause of the way he worded the OP, the way the title looked though I agree with you

im still not sold that many of these people that get these big online scores are winners when it comes to the live game, which, by the way, is real poker.
