Losing streaks...

Currently on a 17 tourney losing streak (no $ finishes) at 18's Turbo @ $15-$30 and I'm ONLY single-tabling these. Is this normal?

Note: I'm new to MTTs, I'm a winning HUSNG mid-staker. Just wondering, sorry if this has been asked before. Also, what kind of average losing streaks can I expect, like on a weekly basis, for those heavy grinders, what do you normally see as far as losing streaks....also, winning streaks (like 4 cashes in 8 kind of deal).

Re: Losing streaks...

View finish distributions of some players who play same limits & games and have a similar ROI than you estimate to achieve over a reasonable sample, use simple math, find the answer :P

Re: Losing streaks...

Streak just ended @ 22 tourneys, pulled in 2nd place when my 99 lost to A7o heads up...anyways, I kept my cool and played well, bad card distribution and lots of 2-3 outers blah blah blah, glad it's over.

As for looking at fellow players' distributions, I am new to this game, don't know anybody, so that's why I asked here, so it would be a lot more fruitful if you just tell me what your longest streaks are. Is that so hard? When people asked me on husngs the same question, I gave them my biggest winning and biggest losing streaks. I simply ask for the same from you mtt sngers.

Re: Losing streaks...

I don't play MTT SnGs and I guess a lot of people in here don't, that's why the forum is called "STT Strategy" -.-

If it helps you somehow: Your losing streak is way less unlucky than you think it is.
It's not important anyway, if you're quite sure to beat the limits just keep on playing, if you're so unsure start out lower and build a sample.
