Let's say your WR is 2bb/100, your obsereved winrate is -2.6bb/100 and your sd is about 100bb/100 (I assume this is a slightly cautious sd).
There is just over a 7% chance that you run at your observed winrate or less over 100k hands if your winrate is 2bb/100. Your probability of having lost money after 100k hands is 26%.

Thanks bro. I know for it's not impossible. Just wanted to lose some ignorance over this. Also hear some validation from someone knowledgeable saying dont worry keep grinding.
110k is just last 2 months or so. I have played many many more hands than that. I probably netted $30k playing recreationally last 16 years. Never seen anything remotely close to what's been happening to me last two weeks.
We are talking about -20bb/100 and all I do is calling with nuts. Going all in AA pre or flopped nuts etc... (I am not even talking about KK QQ AK pre or 2nd third nuts on flops. I have accepted the fact that I am going to lose them
for sure)
I am so frustrated last two weeks losing 10 buyins every single session. I look back my hands and see things like guys jamming over 200bb over my standard half pot cbet on dry J hi brd with 88 while I have to call him with QQ because he is a maniac. So many more examples and I am not here for sutpid bad beat ****. I hate beat beat stories. I have always hated.
So this is normal and I shouldn't worry. I guess I am not losing my mind than this is pterry legit downswing I have never experienced. Lol.
Thanks.
