Hey guys!
I noticed, that my overall luck bell says that I basically don't make straights. After 20,000 hands at 10NL, I lost about $100 (5BB/100 hands).
What do you think how much impact the extremely low straight rate and the slightly lower flush rate have on my win rate (losing rate )?

Wow, you really have trouble making straights! Being that far down on the bell curve would have some kind of impact on your results, but it's impossible to say how much. Straights aren't made particularly often even if you run "averagely", and you don't win a whole stack every time anyway, so it might only amount to a couple of buyins in a sample of that size. There's also nothing you can do about your luck, apart from moan about it.

FWIW, I once saw someone's "luck bell curve" in which they had all three points (straights, flushes and sets) in the very first sector (extremely unlucky). Sometimes the poker gods just want you to be miserable. Don't let the bad run with straight draws affect you mentally. Don't change your game. Your luck could change tomorrow.

ImStraightTho - welcome to the forums. I hope you listen to Arty - his advice is spot-on.

Thank you for your replies!
I have studied a lot over the past 2 months and I‘m getting pretty confident with most of my plays at 10NL, so I don’t play my straight draws in a different way now only because I run bad. When it’s +EV, losses are ok for me.

Welcome .. interesting that 'straight' is in your name as well ... hmm

I had a stretch in live play where I missed on 14 straight OESFD before I actually won a hand with one. Pretty amazing run ... can't say I considered folding any of them. GL
