That one was pretty bad too. And not too far behind that, you notice I have one spot that is a complete shot down... that was my single worst losing session. I lost 23K that night. And I know it’s hard to tell because the graph covers a lot of data, but right after I made my first initial upswing that basically started my bankroll (near the beginning of the graph), I lost almost exactly half my bankroll shortly after.

Also if you take a look at the very very beginning of the graph, this proves the point of my story. If you read early posts of mine when I joined this site, I mentioned that for the first 8 to 10 months, I was probably a break-even player at best. Maybe even a slightly losing player. That small little area in the beginning that’s hovering around the 0 part of the line (right before the sharp upswing) represents 334 hours of play. That’s 334 hours of sitting in a casino and basically having no results to show for it.
Yes, I saw all these points when studying the chart. You had a break-even phase at the start, and later on there was a clear losing streak before your current one. I guess you play high stakes in the meantime, losing 23K in one night.
