Re: A request for experienced winning players re: inevitable downswing
"We all know downswings happens, even to the best players."
Yes. I can remember terrible runs from most of the regular posters here.
"We also know that 30 buy-ins seem to be the standard buffer needed **for winning players**."
Depends on level, and how good a winning player they are. 30 buyins really isn't enough unless you're willing to step down a stake or 2.
"so I'll just wait for the results to even out"
Unfortunately they don't actually even out. But, the more games you play, the more your sample will reflect ev.
"what sort of fluctuations one could expect."
Just remember, what ever you have experienced, someone else has experienced much worse.
Off the top of my head, irieguy had a 40 buyin drop, raptor had 700+ for only breakeven, stupid sucker had something pretty vicious, maybe 30-40, daliman had a pretty ugly drop at the $215s. Plenty of others...
"shows the ups and downs of good/bad luck periods, if possible graphically."
suited sixes has a good one.
I remember one $11er had a 60 buyin drop and I think he still showed a profit at the end of it??
