I continue to run like death. I keep going on those ridiculous runs where I drop 5BI in under a minute, and all of them in super obvious ldo-get-it-in spots that aren't worth posting. It's haunting.
I've lost about $150 to table ninja... I'm uninstalling it now. It disables itself if you type in a browser, in IRC, while taking notes, but not in the chatbox. I keep calling huge overbets or raising in super obvious fold spots because I type 'orly' or something like that.
Anyway... rant over. I'm approaching 200k hands break-even while still having one of the highest overall winrates of the FT lowstakes regs. That might just be due to 500k hand samples being pretty worthless... and yes I'm serious. I think if you've never had 100k+ break-even or 20+BI swings you're probably on a lifetime heater of some sort.
I really believe that myself as well as a lot of people who are considered good regs were just running extremely good over a very long period of time... even if it just means having your loosing hands spread out so you don't go on a roller coaster ride where you have 15 consecutive loosing days that crush your spirit. Then it all evens out and their graphs become a straight line... you keep seeing that - lifetime graphs that go up and then straight forever. On the other hand there must a huge amount of players who had the potential to become winning players but just ran bad from the start and gave up on poker.
