Risk of ruin

Question: Am I correct that only maniac on amphetamines could maintain such a SD (80 BB/100hands) and that even this maniac would have to work amazingly hard to do so ?

Think what your SD/hand will be if you only use the raise button (no checks, calls or folds on any street). If your opponents are not as crazy, the pot size will typically be around 20 BB, I guess, with around 7 BB coming from you. In this wildest case scenario, your SD/hand will be still smaller than 8 BB, so SD of 80 BB/100 is not possible unless your opponents play along.

That's what I thought.

This was my thinking re. a 3BB/100 winner burning through 5k playing 1-2.

Theoretically possible but in practice bordering on tossing a coin and having it land on its edge - 3 times in a row.
