I requested my full playing history on Pokerstars fairly recently. Turns out I did have some decent (3x $1,000+, 1x $12,000) tournament scores but mostly lost in tournaments and got wrecked in cash games. My EV line was never in the black lol.

I obviously knew I had gotten pretty lucky in the process of winning my biggest score of all time, but I didn't realize quite HOW lucky. I mean, all those all-ins, some semi set-ups plus, and most importantly, the "right guy" (the one who covers his opponent) winning every single time.

We got moved to the final table, 6-8th wins $500 each while 5th to 1st get $12,000 each and the madness below (mind you, this was basically a $5 tournament playing a $11,500 bubble) is what happened in 5 (!) consecutive hands lol

The thought that I ever considered myself unlucky after that when I lost a 80/20 for $1,000 is just so ridiculous..

Then again, and more to the point, what's YOUR biggest sun run of time?
