Can a TAG hit a 60BB-100BB downswing? Even at small stakes limit hold'em?

someone playing perfectly can hit a 57 gazillion BB downswing. this is very very unlikely.

the closer to perfect that you play and the longer the downswing, the less likely.

Roy Cooke claims to have never hit a 200BB downswing in 60,000 hours of play. There is a 2+2 poster who claims something similiar for himself and who says it's very doable with a really good earn rate, like 3.5BB/100. I think it all depends on how good a TAG you are and how good the games are that you play in. I think there are a lot of very successful online TAG players here at 2+2 who have had 200 BB downswings. But their earn rates are more like 1.5BB/100.

You can play 1,000,000 hands perfectly and not win a single one.

No

[LetYouDown]

Yes. Given a long enough period of time, it would happen. Granted, that would be a LONG period of time...but it would.

universe may implode first though.

That's why they recommend a MINIMUM bankroll of 300BB.
