Think You’re Running Bad? Think Again
Any poker player that’s logged a decent number of hands has hit a rough patch when seemingly nothing goes right, but it’s usually a fairly short rough patch. Running terribly (60 or so buy-ins below equity at $100NL) over 80,000+ hands, though, is a whole other world of suck:

The maths of encountering such a streak of bad luck (which is essentially what happens when you’re running below your expected equity) is somewhere around .005%, so, umm, yeah. That’s running pretty damn bad.
