How common is a -140bb swing?
 

I've had one recently, I've had many in the past, but I'd like to know how often I can expect swings of this magnitude or worse.

Obviously it depends on my winrate (which I don't precisely know) and SD/hr (which I don't precisely know), but that's about all I know. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Anyone with any info on this is appreciated.

I haven't been playing poker for more than a year, and I've had at least 2 200BB slides. I've also had a couple more 100BB slides. Poker is fun.

Not that often. Over 100k hands at 2/4 I've had several 100BB downswing, maybe 2 150BB downswings, and one 200BB downswing. So for me, I'd expect a 140BB downswing every 30k hands or so - once a month or so.

I had a 110BB downswing yesterday and a 110.5 upswing shortly thereafter. I'm sure that a 150BB downswing isn't that uncommon. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Were you playing 6-max again?

I think this swing was magnified by atypically poor play during the slide, but thank you to everyone for your info.

And yes, I've experienced a similar swing over 2k hands (-200 to -80 in the 2k, to +100 by 5k hands)... I know it happens, but I'm curious about how often. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Edit: and that swing was at full ring

Entity,

As usual, your assistance is very valuable. I'm on about a 75 bet downswing in 6max, and I feel so dirty and ashamed. I feel much better now.
