Re: 5 person S&Gs: First 250 checkup
I think that you are correct in a few ways. First, the presence of 1 or 2 sharks will impact the game tremendously because it's only 5 people instead of 10.
Also, if you consider a 5 buyin downswing disasterous, then yes! Look out for the downswings! I have had a few 5 buyin downswings, but I always bounce back.
I actually just ran the results in sets of 50, and had 1 set at an ROI of 1.8%. So while the variance is much smaller, downswings are still present, just a fact of poker.
