What constitutes your worst losing poker run? My losing streak lost me a total of 5 poker sessions straight without ever recovering. But I gained experience of handling my funds properly alongside emotional response during that timeframe. How about you? How long have you remained in a losing streak?

Playing only tournaments, variance can be a little crazy. Losing streaks can last 10+ buy-ins. I always take a break if I lose a few buy-ins in a row. I try not to play whenever I start to get frustrated. It's important to be refreshed when I grind. Breaks are good.

I had a similar losing streak once, where I lost four poker sessions in a row, and it was tough. I ended up getting frustrated and playing on tilt, which only made things worse. I learned a lot about managing my bankroll during that time. It’s not just about playing smart but also about keeping emotions in check. After that, I decided to take a break and tried something lighter, like the barbarossa slot, just to reset. It wasn’t about winning big but about regaining my confidence and control. After some time, I got back to poker with a clearer head, and the streak eventually turned around.

You should consider quitting playing poker because this losing streak is a big record to break.

If I lose 3x in a row, I will stop playing for the day.
