    Confusing. Are you asking of a losing streak or a break even streak? Can one even have a brake even streak?

    Since I am a recreational player, I have had a 15-20 hour streak but saying it’s closer to 10 hours than it’s 50 hours.

    I don’t believe anyone can even have a 100 hour losing streak as it implies not winning even one session. Mostly, people will have a winning session interspersed with a lot of losing sessions.

    You don't understand. The question is asking the longest streak of consecutive hours you've gone such that, from beginning to end, your net result was negative.

    I don't know the number of consecutive losing hours-nor is it all that meaningful statistically. But for losing months, the answer is 15!

    But that, of course, depends entirely on how many hours per month, on average, you played.

    I still don’t get it. If I have 100 one hour sessions and I lose the first sixty sessions, win one session, lose the next 39 sessions, what is my current losing streak. Is it 39 or 100? How do Zi answer his poll?

    Did you READ what I wrote? It's not a streak of losing sessions. It's a streak of TIME during which you lose money. Why is that so hard to understand? You start at point A, you go to point B, and you're still behind. What's the longest stretch of hours (days, months, whatever) from A to B? Don't know how much clearer it can be said.

    Yes Don is right, I was asking 'longest losing/break even streak' as in-

    Your bank is $50k. You play 500 hours and your bank is still at $50k (or less).

    Don-

    You have had such a long and illustrious bj career... What's your longest one? What's the longest one you've heard of? (from a pro whose game you know is solid).
