100BB downswings, how often?

[brassnuts]

Playing 5/10 6-max for the last month and a half... I've had a separate -90BB, -120BB, and a -100BB in the last 2 weeks? That said, I'm actually up just a little bit for this period of time, so I'm not tripping out too hard. But, I'm just wondering if I can expect this crap very often, or is this abnormal?

Edit: I posted this here cuz I've heard this is the forum to bitch and moan. I'm not trying to complain really in this post either, but I still decided to post here.

Once a [censored] month. It seems anyway. 50-100BB definetly once a month.

I am currently in the midst of a 150BB swing. Thinking back, I have had three 100BB swings since January. And several 50-75 BB swings.

I am probably about as average as they come on this site.

It really depends on how good you are. If you can win 3BB/100 you will experience -100BB swings much less frequently than if you only iwn 1BB/100.

This is insane. Let me take through my last 10 days.

-90 BB
+70 BB
-120 BB
+240 BB (pretty steadily over several days)
-160 BB
and today...
+130 BB

I am the most swingy player ever and it's not fun. The last -160 BB and +130 BB was in a 28 hour period.

It depends upon your style of play. If you are very agressive, your swings will be large. If you are a super rock, your awings will be much smaller.

How many table-hours or hands for the -160BB swing?

I play limit, pretty aggressively, and a 100 BB swing is not rare for me. I'm in the midst of one that bottomed out (so far) at close to -100. I've climbed about halfway back out of it this morning. No biggie, just stay the course, change tables if you are in a bad spot, etc...

I think super rock would have one big down swing in 5/10 6 max last forever.

At SH games, 50 BB is a fairly typical swing for me in a night. 100BB swings either way happen fairly regularly for an aggressive SH player. I've had a 100BB swing in 30 minutes. No biggie, unless it upsets/tilts you. If so, you should stick to less swingy games or lower levels.

About 1000, give or take a couple hundred hands.

It doesn't really upset me. Though, I've seen myself go on a certain form of tilt where I call down too much, trying to make things happen. But, really in this thread, I'm just asking if this is normal. It seems like my last 10 days has been somewhat hectic, but nothing super out of the ordinary. Time to just get used to these types of swings. As you said, no biggie.

[Zebdula]

Very normal.

[TStoneMBD]

happens all the time in that game

[mcozzy1]

yeah. the 5/10 6 max games are not for those with a weak stomach. lots of big swings.

[IlliniRyRy]

Over my last month I've gone through at least 5 -50BB downswings and I'm up 500BB over that period. It is extremely common, the swings are nuts if you're not used to it.

[PokerProdigy]

If you are a bad player, than you should expect 100BB downswings to happen often /images/graemlins/wink.gif
