Default Re: Anatomy of a downswing.

fluctations include both up and downswings. during a rocky time, i think it should be totally normal to go up 4 BIs one day, down 3, up 1, up 5 down 2, Up 3, down 4, etc etc. But I, and the others i know who have swings like this, push a lot of small edges; from what i know about your game you may take a lot of variance reducing measures and fold in spots where i would be ready to gamble. I've had 15 buyin downswings before and still have a long term WR that i'm very happy with.

Variance goes both way Joe. Of course if I someone lost 3 buyins every day they'd be broke shortly.

What's your standard deviation?
