Default 300 BB Downswing

Has anyone gone on a 300 BB downswing playing 1/2 6 max? I only hear about them from players playing much larger stakes.

100BB, They are so horrible.

Feels like the every site has said "Right he'll lose for the next 30 hours of playing no matter what, We'll add a few nice wins to keep him happy". Taking breaks etc.. It never got out of it... Untill it Stopped.

Clearly all the sites gathered together and picked me as the victim. They make it so dam obvious some times!!!!!!!!

This post has been posted many times, i think some guys have 500bb swings?

Search for "DOWNSWING" infact type in -RE: +DOWNSWING into the search, set it to 1year and all forums.. Should be good.

This thread is probably better suited for BB&V.

My first ~10k hands at 1/2 6max was pretty brutal. I don't have the PT stats, but I think I lost nearly 250 BB even though I felt I had a good grasp on the game. In the next 4k hands I won about 350 BB. Variance...it is a [censored].

To actually answer your question, 150 is the most i've ever done. I doubt variance alone would account for a 300BB downswing at stakes this low.

Countless people have gone through this, at least at higher levels.
