$50 NL 10 handed graph

MobbDeep · #1 12-19-2005, 10:44 AM

I multitable $50 NL Fullring.
Is these "bumps" I have in my graph normal?
When I got the first bump I thought it was my first bad downswing and if I made it thru I could manage anything.
Then a few day later I get another one.
It's about 10 buyins each downswing.
I don't feel I'm playing bad, maybe I have a hard time laying down AA on a non scary board and a tight player raises me on turn and I allways get busted by a set.
And also I allways have the lower set when it's set over set.

Oh well, I've read about it here before, people playing good for a long time and then they have a huge downswing.
So I guess I'm just one of those guys.

Variance is a biatch!

Uh, this is completely normal.

OK, thanks, that was what I needed [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Can I expect bigger downswings?

it depends on the games you play and your style of play. bigger downswings can be expected if you're playing in SH aggro games.

Have you seriously played 100K hands of .25/.50 NL? I thought only sourbeaver was capable of staying at that level for that long-- most people move up.

I did move up, but not "by the book" tho.
First I tried 6max at .25/.50 then I tried 1/2 and 2/4 6max but it totally sucked, I couldn't take a 6xbuyin loss at 2/4 so I moved back to where I actually made money, and that is .25/.50 full ring. I think it's the SH step I can't take, and when you move up there isn't as much full ring games.

I'm more comfortable playing .25/.50 cause there I can take a 10 x buyin downswing not getting to mad.
At the higher limits I get to angry and start tilting.

I was trying to play 2/4 6max at prima, my goal was only to break even and make money on rakebakc, it started out well but then I got a 5 x buyin downswing and I started to doubt my game and tried all kinda stuff but it only made it worse...

Remeber I'm playing 8 tables, and 8 tables at 2/4 6max maybe isn't a good ide, but I can't stand playing only 1 or 2 tables, I get to bored...

Your win rate is pretty low, 4+-2 PTBB/100. Your low win rate means you will have more frequent and larger downswings than someone winning 10 PTBB/100. Dropping 10 buy-ins isn't pleasant, but it is not a huge surprise. That's why the recommended bankroll is over 10 buy-ins even for those with a higher win rate. See this bankroll discussion.

I think the reason why I have around 4 PTBB/100 is cause I play 8 tables (have also been play 12 tables). If I play 1 table I could easy have 8 PTBB/100 but its much more profitable having 4 PTBB/100 playing 8 tables. Also you don't need to get to tricky to get 4 PTBB/100 so I can easy play 8 tables and watch tv at the same time.

My true hourly winrate is about 20$/hour.

you can 8table and have a much higher winrate, push yourself to do better
