Default Re: Acceptable Swings?

Its normal to start out your sessions swinging down. You start out posting a blind. Then most of the pots you become involved in will show small losses(for instance you see the flop with AQo and fold when it comes monotone-not your-tone 456).

Your wins are few and far between. However when you do win the pots are often big enough to make up for your lossses and then some.

Because pots where you lose money occur with so much more frequency than pots where you win money its more likely you will start out a session losing money and then come back as the session goes on.

I find myself going on nightly 60 BB swings playing .5/1. I usually start out bad and drop 50-80 BB and near the end of my night come back.

Are daily swings this large out of the ordinary?

A 50bb swing is quite ordinary. Expect it, get used to it. Learn to appreciate it.
