Re: What is your biggest downswing?
I had a real bad swing a few months ago where I dropped like 15 buy ins in the $400-$600 games.
Bad beats, bad situations, some tilt, cold cards... really really sucked. I've won it all back, and then some, though. |

Re: What is your biggest downswing?
The aggressiveness of your play style certainly dictates the buy in swings both good and bad... Worst was a month back dropped 10 400NL within a couple days.Got a little bit cold decked, little bit tilty and a lot weak tighty twoard the end of the swing. Big 10+ downswings hurt.
Went into a 2 week breakeven period, looked at pokertracker and realized my aggression had to decreased to the level of a pussy. Kicked it back into top gear and won 20 buyins in 3 days and have been cruising upward since. Always monitor your aggression level in pokertracker. |

Re: What is your biggest downswing?
Went through a horrible stretch a few months ago where I lost about 13 buy-ins in under two weeks. It was especially bad since I play a pretty low-variance game. Just a ridiculous stretch of KK vs. AA, set over set, ridiculous draws hitting against me, etc.

Re: What is your biggest downswing?
i was down 12 buyins over 10k hands once not that long ago. set over set, cold cards, a little tilt and the ass-end of the variance lottery. It was a good experience for me though. It prompted me to actually read Gambling Theory and Other Topics and think about fluctuations, variance, risk of ruin, standard deviation, etc etc. I always just paid lip service that [censored] but basically thought because I'd been winning for 150k hands or whatever I'd never run bad like that.
But, I think this post should go in Beats, Brags and Variance. I just felt like replying for some unknown reason. |
