The problem is that if you play an infinite amount of hands you're going to at some point experience an infinite downswing.

Please explain this too me (no sarcasm). How can you have an infinite downswing. I will agree that you could never have a 100% CI against going broke.

But an infinite downswing, just does not seem probable.

It's not probably at all, in fact it's infinitely unlikely.

The likelihood of a downswing decreases exponentially with the size of the bankroll. But there is always a small chance.

This is only a problem for someone living on his poker income and having absolutely no means of replenishing his roll.
