So, how much do you lose?

    As opposed to the "how much do you make thread".
    What has been your worst loss for a day, or how bad a downswing have you had or are going through? Have you ever hit a bad downswing straight off after moving up a level?


    I was up €45 earlier today playing $10 STTs, then I had my worst run of OOTM's since I started playing seriously - 7 in a row. Started playing like a retard after the first 4, ended up getting two sevenths and a ninth before I finally came to and logged off.

    Took a few hours break and came back with 2 2nd's just now to finish with an obscene profit of €7 for the day.

    16 $50 SnGs OTM. -$880. They were sandwiched inside a couple of 1sts and 2nds which meant I broke even. Horrible run though.

    Lost $300 in 10 mins while multitabling on the Party $100 omaha tables.

    Lost about $150 in one hand on PPP Omaha.

    Have played an evening of MTT's without cashing which probably added up to $100 ish.

    a few hundred, I dont lose much in a single session as my triggers kick in and I leave (usually!) but I have gone on extended losing streaks and lost easily 1.5k in a month.
    I usually eek out a few hundred to 1000 a month in profit but the last three months have been a bit ugly.

    DeV.

    Lost about 330 one night (There's a post on it somewhere) at 1/2 on VC where I got rivered 5 times. Won back about 60 later that night at the same table with my PPP account. So about 270 of a loss.

    Just after coming out of a 10 game ootm run in 20$ stt's and now I have won my last 3! That's just crazy variance. My ITM percentage stands at around 44% for this level. Some pretty horrible bad beats in that run too as well as some skillfully inflicted bad beats in the 3 game winning run :D

    Back in march I had my only losing month this year. I had a 2-week run there where I couldn't seem to win a session. I was playing shorthand 2/4 Limit and was down something like 1100 in the 2-week period.

    A bag of sand. Drunk. In the cash game. Bad bad combination.

    Had a bad run of €35 6-handed STTs on Stars about two months ago, 7 in a row OTM. That's €245 in three days! I'm haven't really spent any time online (at least for poker) for the last 6 weeks, so have no recent good or bad runs under the belt.

    No-one has mentioned tournaments, but the most money lost in the shortest amount of time for me was the two days of the end-of-month €270 Fitz game and the €275 Pokerevents Supersat at CityWest. Spent most of my live profit for the YTD on those two tournies.

    Well I dropped around $250 yesterday over the course of 16 $25 STT's. That's by far my worst day online to date.

    clawed back just over $50 before I logged off, but a day full of muppets did nothing for me.

    Prime example was the $5K Guaranteed game. I was knocked out in 32nd after raising to 6K preflop with KTo (600/1200) flop of T 2 2 and I bet 5K, raised to 10K I go all-in for 30K more and muppet turns over 23o to take the pot.

    Still short term loss, but long term gain...I hope

    Lost my sack over the last two nights in cash omaha/holdem on PP. No joking, I was rivered about ten times, mostly for 2/4/6 outers. Was so sick after it last night that I have given myself a two month on-line ban. And I'll stick to it.

    See ye all in the fitz ;)
