worst downswing, and at what level?
 

I was wondering if anyone would care to post their worst downswing by buy-in amount. Also include what level, over how many SnG's. I am currently in the midst of a 20 buy-in downswing and 11 OOTM streak. This is at the 33's, but my main question is, how often do this usually occur? I play between 550-750 SnG's a month, so should I expect to go through one of these every month?

This isn't fun. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I'm playing well, I think. I've run AKs/AKo into Kings about 5 times while short stacked. I can't really win races, losing with high pairs to low pairs and suited paints, etc. Not really tilting. Hopefully it'll pass.

Things don't happen at some sort of scheduled frequency. I dropped around 50 buyins at the 215s last month, that's the worst I've had so far, but 10+ buyin daily swings are pretty par for the course at that level.

Today I have gone from being down eleven buyins to now being up five.

My record is 40 buyins and 27 of them came in one day. I don't think I would be able to drop that much in a day now since I'm not a good frame of mind after a drop of 15 buyins. Better to quit and take the rest of the day off.

ive dropped 50+ 3 separate times at the 55s, 109s and 215s, and i did like 40 another time at the 55s. its no fun, but when u play a lot, u see it a lot. 15 is nothing, 20 is nothing, 30 is nothing. one very respected stter on this forum has dropped 70 in the 109s. i wont call him out unless he does, but that sucks. holla

More attributed to tilt and bad bankroll management then variance IMO, but since I wasn't keeping stats I will never be 100% positive. But I lost half my br so I guess about 30-40 buyins at the 33's (Although a lot of that loss was in 50 dollar heads up matched..Then had a big MTT final table made most of it back, and then proceeded to lose it all again. Not fun. Luckily I've learned my lesson and have made it all back plus some more.

20 or so buyin drop at 50s. At the same time I lost 100 bb at 3/6

Soon after I went on a big upswing both Mtts, Stts and NL Cash.
