biggest 1 hour session swing -575 (down to my last bet!) back to 0 back to +$400 left at +$157, peak to trough swing $975.... that swing was the size of 20% of my BR! This session was around 45-50 mins.

My biggest losing day...
$7,200 for the day. On that same day, I lost exactly $10,000 in a single session. During that session I seemed to lose every single bet I made no matter how high the count was. The Blackjack Gods showed me what being struck by a lightening bolt felt like and I survived. It was one of the best things that ever happened to me as a professional gambler.
I went on to net win more than three times that much for that year and completely unmolested in that casino for nine straight months.

worst loss in a session was 160 units in a 21 hour marathon play session.
that's almost four times what my 'normal' worse loss session would be.
my wife on a loss of maybe over two thirds my normal trip session of $300 would always tell me i'm out of control, not up on my game. i used to think she was full of it. now i realize it was me who was full of it.

BJRM said it was merely a 1-in-200 shot. The bankroll was conveniently replenishable, but the prolonged emotional torture was like something out of Rod Serling's "Twilight Zone". No other AP that I know personally had ever run that bad.
To Rhino; I did begin resizing downward about 75% of the way thru that run, then eventually broke down and reloaded.
