That's it for me!

Where do you play?
What level do you play?
How long have you played?
How many hands have you played?

I have no idea how experienced you are so perhaps this is stuff you already know...

I'm pretty much still a newb and have only 50K hands behind me, but during those hands I have had two downswings that lasted 4-5K hands. And when I hit the bottom of the swing it took me 5K hands to get back up from the first and 4K from the second, making it around 8-9K hands of breakeven poker each time. At the bottom I was down ~200BB.

Now there are lots of carpal tunnels on these forums that can tell you about much larger downswings than that as well.

If you are playing in games where bluffing is important to winning then you are playing in the wrong games.

Straight forward solid poker will take the money in micro-limits assuming you seek out appropriately loose games.
