How long was the most unlucky period you had in online poker!

[c.heck]

Well, we all has a bad periode from time to another.
Relax.
Play freeroll, you cannot lose money then.

Good question. I am a cash game player so downswings are ot too long compared to MTT players. Not sure I could stomach being down for months at a time. My biggest downsizing is since the start of this month, about 6 buy ins ($150 at 25NL, though less in practice thanks to rakeback and freerolls). Mostly run bad but inevitably here are some hands I could have played better. Hoping to get to even by the end of the month.

"How long was the most unlucky period you had in online poker!" - I don't know, I don't deal with such statistics.

 

[billzaao]

Right now! I lost R$400 in tournaments, without winning anything. That's around $85.

 

[OstroLB]

there are several days that I'm out of luck but that's part of the game if you don't have patience it's better to give up as I don't give up I'll keep insisting

 

[bullkk]

My unsuccessful period lasts all the time, there is still no real luck!)))

 

[Poker Orifice]

my longest unlucky stretch is 16years.

 

[CataRouillet]

I was without winning anything important and relatively at a loss for about 1 month. Luckily I was able to come back.

 

[Mantinhoo]

I don't remember exactly, but probably 2-3 months was a black period. I had deleted all the poker Apps. But I rested and came back much stronger than I left.

 

[pansipos]

I am steel on

 

[nakiesQUensyyy]

This went on for about a year, but now, for the last month, I finally went to a stable plus and drifts

In these moments of bad streak is where we must be most focused and not get dragged down by that bad streak, stay focused on applying our game in the best way, leaving bad feelings aside, my streak right now is that I have been on for more than 1 month without qualifying for a good tournament

I completely agree with you, even when I'm in a bad phase, I think that the most difficult paths are the ones that lead to the greatest victories!💪🤜🤛

Downswings are never fun. I have gone over 40 tournaments twice without a single cash online. I have also been on a run of 11 months losing money each month. Live when I could play a lot more i went over 1/2 a year without cashing over 48 tournaments (small Dailys type).

But hen in a downturn we need to remember the good times when we come out of these bad runs. After my 48 misses in a row, I would finally get a win, a 2nd place and another 1st in the next 3 I played.

 

[Aces High]

I already spent about two and a half months just taking Bad and without gaining practically anything relevant!⌛

All depends on which site your playing on

 

[R.Holynskyi]

The main thing in such critical periods is to preserve the bankroll. I try to play low buy-in tournaments or only freerolls on those bad days. Days are different and our attitude towards the bankroll should always be responsible.

 

[Dejana]

I didn't have an unlucky period, but I can say that I'm not going to play poker if I'm not rested or I'm not in a "good mood"/in the zone...

 

[Gallarado777]

once I played for about a month and couldn't raise money at all and it made me very angry because I tried every day and it still worked out so I couldn't win and I just trained even more studying poker and trying to spend more time not playing but studying poker because there were no failures in poker I lost with very strong hands and I just forgot about it and then started winning sometimes you can't influence just forget the game and the cards

 

[pentazepam]

I spent somewhere around 3 months on breakeven

Exactly the same. And this was on lower levels against VERY bad opponents. Thought the site was rigged for sure.

 

[MatheusANF]

A bad month, but in the end i am the bad luck

 

[ramdon p358]

Before I used to play longer and during that time I think it wasn't more than 3 days since when this happened I would stop playing for at least a week to clear my mind. It's important to get over losing streaks in poker

 

[Kinalha]

The cards were against me for a total of about a year, before that there was a very successful period. Now all losses are perceived differently.

Your case it's not about lucky. You're just bad.

 

[Goalie35]

My current run bad streak is about 6 months. The streak is mainly being card dead with the occasional bad beat thrown in for fun. Luckily, the couple of months before that the cards ran hot so I am still positive for the year. Playing microstakes during a bad streak is more still fun and cheaper than watching cable TV!

 

[john_entony]

That's what this is all about! We all tend to memorize failures rather than winning hands. We should try to be calm about failures and be happy about victories. Although if you ask me, I can remember, for example, losing 11 times in a row with KK against weaker hands last week. But today I already won with KK, so I'm sure the series of failures is over.

 

[dreamer13]

For me it is 3 months. We are programmed by nature to fight for life and territory, so when we start to lose, we are fully mobilized to win back. In addition, losing hurts our pride, diminishes our sense of self-importance, and this is an additional motivation to avoid defeat at all costs.
