A question about swings
 

I am looking for a little clarification on something. People frequently talk about swings, particularly that one must be prepared for a 200BB swing from time to time. My question is whether expected value taken into account? For instance, if I think I'm a 1BB/hr favorite and after 100 hours I'm down 50BB, is that a swing of 50 or 150?

Swings do not take EV into account.

It's a swing of 50. But swings don't take that long, they're much quicker.

Back of the line Chumpette.

I'm down 330BB ($4400) as of 3/1, 23K hands...

Ok ok I lied, I am up 78BB at 1/2 ($156) during that period. The $156 didn't really restore my BR though...

I came to within two big bets of moving up to 5/10 for the OIC. Then I dropped about 28, so now I'm 30 away. Do I win?
