The streak...
... is over.
This is just a brag post really, but for those that are interested I lost out in a DYM at 3:26am this morning.
This ends a run of 14 straight games where I cashed.
What other long streaks have people had?
The exit hand was:
This isn't a bad beat post - I've obviously handed out a fair few bad beats myself in a streak like that.

My own fault.
Unlucky, you where never going to fold that in a month of Sundays, and you where only one Spade off beating the flush. Nice streak though.
I like to click on the my account tab from time to time and smile when I see no red amounts just those nice black ones. I do tend to look at this really regularly as I tend to set my self a target of between 60 and 70% success rate,(you need at least 60% to break even on these, sometimes more depending on the rake) by having a quick look here, I can tell instantly if my last 10 games have reached that figure.
I have heard of a player reaching 17. He told me himself and trust me, I DO believe him and when I see him play he cashes in about 90%. Huge figure.
My current run stands at one loss! Now that's a streak I HATE to build up.
But none the less, well done mate, but don't feel you have to improve on that when I am sitting next to you!
By the way, 3.26am? Do you ever sleep???
I got HU 12 games in a row which was a decent run I feel!
Piece of CAKE you might say

If the entry fee is 10% of the buy in, then you only need to win 55% of them to break even.
True, but some of the lower levels have a higher rake. Up to 15% on the real cheapies and I do like to turn a profit!
Ultimately, I was estimating the return as I only look at the last 10 games in my account to see my average percentage on these and, as such, it will only obviously give me percentages in multiples of ten. Hence the 60%.
dont some sites give you cash rewards if you can manage 6 top 6 finishes on the scary's? i think irish paddy offer something $2000 for 6 wins on the trot and $300 for 6 top 2 finishes
Impossible to implement on DYM'S though as once the bubble bursts at's all in time for most players so a player who is aiming for this only has to sit tight.
Ah, I see what you mean Hale.
I only posted because my target is 60% because it means I'm making a profit. Anything more I consider a bonus.
(I usually only play £10+).
I too aim for 60% as a minimum really, 50% means you are at a loss and 55% is the break even point. At the levels I play, 70% is tough but possible.
I do tend to look at the my account section regularly and it gives a rolling average and if I see it drop then I tend to have a day or so's break to refresh the mind.
No luck at all tonight.
I will come back fresh tomorrow to start another streak.
Then again, I've had a pretty similar run of losses as well
I don't believe everything that Tikay says - that run of SnG losses can't have exceeded 50 surely??? :-)
Currently on a 6 game winning streak.
It appears im folding just at the right time every hand just now, betting the right amount, or just plain hitting. Bit of luck last night to keep me in the freeroll with my pocket queens hitting a bigger stack who had pocket aces both all-in pre-flop, and the turn brought me a queen. Other than that everytime i fold seems to be the right move.
Roll on.
I just wish i had enough BR to play a £10 DYM lol
Well done on a massive run however
That's some run Mere, very well done, though devalued somewhat by the fact that Lord Smirk once managed it - how, I shall never know.
And well done Talon - that's extraordinary.
I won 6 today in a row and was pleased enough with that!
I, too, (like so many on this site) aspire to be "near RICH and Tikays level ".
I'm about to play tonight's Deepies & now you've tilted me hard.
KQ is the nuts.
