Default Downswing

What's the biggest downswing you've ever had in a single hour of play (multitabling)?

I chose 50-75, but I think you should have had a 100+ choice... I bet it would have got got some votes.

155BB was the most for me so far.
Which isn't much compared to some.

In an hour? Do you 8 table 6-max games?

That's scary to lose 100+ BB in an hour. I guess I could see it happening to someone who 12 tabled.

Since judging win/loss rates measured in terms of hours is inaccurate in online play (multiple table issues) - perhaps the question should be:

What's the largest downswing you've taken in a set of x hands, in terms of -BB/100?

Set an amount that would be roughly equivalent to the average 4-tabler for an hour. I get 59.9 hands per hour per table at Party, so between 200 and 250 hands might be a good "x" amount.

Sorry for nitpicking.

I've done it 8-tabling. 105BB iirc. What do you do when all your draws fail to materialize, your boats get cracked by bigger boats on the river, none of your big pairs hold up etc etc. It's pretty darn rare that you get it squeezed together in an hour I guess, but it does happen.
