    I was up 6 BINs a bit back but since that point I've swung down to negative 20 BINs. That's quite awful really. Can anyone top it?

    I was down 18 at the start of the year its such a sick feeling. Nothing went right at the time its all good now though. Play long enough and everyone goes through a streak like that. Just have to try not start playing bad.

    I was down 14BI's at the beginning of the month. Have ran like I'd imagine Jesus would have wanted to had he fallen from the cross and have managed to just about breakeven.

    Forgot that you're meant to move up levels when on a bad run. :pac:

    Time frame? Doesn't matter. For me it was 10 days. And I can now understand Theresalwaysone's rant in his blog..

    Fair play to anyone who hits a -40 swing and keeps going i'd have to quit for a while to get over that. I stopped playing for about two weeks after my 18 downswing and felt so bad. I didn't even get a decent heater when I started back up. I was tempted to try and hit a deposit boom switch but thought i'd just grind it out.

    To clarify:

    Its not a downswing when you spew, although the coolers were spew inducing

    My worst run online was 3 weeks ago when I lost 25 consecutive buyins during 5 painful days. My worst run live was Aug- Sept 2007 when I had 2 winnning sessions out of 17 during one period. Lost about 10k during that period

    In the space of 52k hands at 100nl this year, I've had an 11BI downswing in 1500 hands, a 14BI downswing in 4k hands and an 18BI downswing in 4k hands. Downswings for me are usually a result of mega tilt and I just spew spew spew. I don't usually run bad, over that sample my EV and winnings are very close, however after 45k hands I had been running above EV and then had a bad downswing, the 18k one above where I ran 12BI below EV but its all balanced out now :D:D
    After all that I am up 39BI so it ain't all bad!!

    I once went 22 X 6 handed STTs in a row without finishing in the top two.

    Never lost more than 10 buy-ins in cash games though.

    10 buy-ins (and that's only at 50NL) - I think I'd have to take some serious time off from poker if I was on a 30+ downswing
