Anyone have an opinion on how long a losing streak can get before mathematically its almost impossible for it to continue? I consider myself to be a good but not great player, I average about 2.5 bb/100 on $50 nl tables over about 40k hands the past year.

Lately though, I've been averaging -2 bb/100 over the last 10k hands. Everyone hates it when bad beats conspire to put a huge dent in your bankroll, but I think this is getting a little ridiculous.

Anyone have thoughts? And please dont tell me 10k hands is nothing :P
