Just like the title says... worst downswing in a day for me ever. I lost 97BB in just under 4 hours. Thats over $5,700 dollars. I have been reviewing my hand histories and I didnt tilt. All day, if I had a premium hand it would get cracked, if I had a premium draw, it would not come. I went 0-8 with A-A. I went 0-5 K-K.Like I said earlier, I missed every flush and straight draw today and everyone hit them on me. I have a software called Blinder installed. It does not allow me to see how much money I have at each table... I knew I was down, but when I closed my table my jaw dropped. Talk about a rude awakening. Just venting... need a break from limit. I'm going to throw up.

wow, that really sucks. i can't understand how you feel because you lost more than my whole bankroll in four hours. I only have a 4K bankroll.
if you are playing well and you still have a significant bankroll then just keep at it. it's just variance. it will all come back. Drop down in limits if your bankroll is getting low.

You probably mostly play live if you've never cracked the 100BB downswing mark. Trust me, they get much worst than that. 100BB's is only scratching the surface of starting to run bad, I did 150 BB's in 2 hrs just last night.

You are dead on. I have been playing live for 6 years and finally made the jump to online poker about 6 months ago. Things have been going ridiculously good. After a huge sample size, I was CRUSHING the game. I don't like to give winrates, but the folks at 2+2 would call me a liar. I guess these past two days even things out.

I lost 1,000 playing .5/1 NL in less than 5 hours once
