Currently online I have 130k hand break even stretch running 40 buyins under ev on a particular site
I had a 200k b/e stretch online before but was mass-tabling back then so it only lasted like 2 months

At this point I've got more than 4m hands over which I've won, most of which were in tougher games. I'm running around 30-40 buyins bellow all in ev (losing at a lot more than that), statistically missing a **** ton of sets and if there was a way to determine overall card distribution in relation to boards I'd be willing to bet I've ran crazy bad with that also, its possibly selective memory but after playing millions of hands you can just sort of feel when practically every flop in any 3b pot is completely screwing you.
It would be weird to just all of a sudden snap into a losing player just like that. I try to be not egotistic about it and I'll admit I've made many mistakes which doesn't help the situation but in terms of skill there's just no way in hell I'm outmatched vs this player pool, I'd probably be willing to bet my life on that.
I try and rebuild confidence each session by studying and I try to not go into it with a negative outlook but at this point I'm kind of proud of my downswing in a sick sort of way, kind of like "I bet mines bigger than yours". It does make me feel better tbh when I hear someone say they've gone on 1k-hour losing stretch because I think like if they can get through it alive then so can I.
