Default Re: My 5 biggest downswings are...

I play all games and here's my standard deviation from all of them in order of greatest to least

Limit Holdem 15-30 565 $/Hr
Pot limit Omaha 2/4 290 $/Hr
PLO hi/lo 1/2 255 $/Hr
Limit 7Stud 10-20 207 $/Hr
Limit stud/8 10-20 174 $/Hr
Limit Omaha hi/Lo 10/20 141 $/Hr
NL Hold'em 2/4 128 $/Hr

I play razz as well but don't have enough of a samlple size to say where it lies among the others. I'm an over 1/BB hour winner at all limit games and 10BB/100 at all NL and pot limit games.

Basically limit holdem is the swingiest game around. More money goes into the pot early than in any other game. But it's also one of the most profitable games around because of this. My advice is to diversify your risk and learn to play more than just limit hold'em. Losing 300BB can have a drastic effect on the quality of your game. If you also learn something that will book you steady wins with less variance it will make your limit hold'em game that much better.

Good luck,
