I'm right there...maybe

I've played 151 games so far this month.  I'm 75 and 76.  You guys ever break-even like this?  Well it's not break-even because I'm losing to the rake.

haha, yeah v.standard. Best players have like a 60% winrate, way too many people overlook the fact that really is just 6 out of 10..

The higher your winrate (assuming you have one), the shorter breakeven stretches, and smaller downswings are.
So don't just mindlessly ''grind it out'', but focus on improving your game, and play when you feel like playing good pokers. imo.

So far this month I have broken even for 175 games and since then I have proceeded to continue on my $3k downswing. Be glad ur breaking even I think players overlook the fact that any day thats not a losing day in poker is a good thing.

Breakeven = good

i went on a 700 game break even stretch...

i have seen huge break even stretches but u always need to review your games and look at playing situations differently from time to time just to give yourself a new level to your game. during my break even streak i find myself on auto pilot and just kept making my standard plays which made me very exploitable. but break even is still not losing anything which is key. that us how guys who are 9 man sng regs make money is all off the rake and getting rakeback from full tilt and bonus rewards from stars. even a  2% winner with rake back at high enough volume makes money.

just keep grinding u will get to big roi's just remember it all comes around up and down
