Default Re: for everyone in a 300+ downswing

Playing 120K hands at 5/10 and 10/20 and not having one +200BB downswing is on the extreme side. As long as u aint better then all the posters at this forum you have been lucky.

There is no way to escape these downswings (more then being lucky). How big a downswing can become is dependent on your Standard Deviation and true winrate. In SH games, if u want the highest winrate u have to accept a pretty high standard deviation. Low SD means not so high winrate.


By the way, 100BB is actually not what people think about as a downswing, two bad but not really bad days are enough for that.
