The dreaded quatro

I'm stealing another blog post title from myself, but it's not from this blog; it's from Fahrenheit 1451, a chess blog I abandoned four years ago. Here's an excerpt:

On Tuesday night, I set a personal worst. I lost the last four games of the session in a row. I call that the dreaded quatro. I should have quit sooner, but couldn't bring myself to. The imp of the perverse was at work yet again!

In a poker context, the dreaded quatro is losing four MTTs in a row, in a single session. That's what happened to me last night. For variety, I think I may play some bounty tournaments tonight.
