BR for 4-way play

I've gone on a 450 BB downswing.

Do you want to argue I'm not a winning player?

Losing 800 dollars at 1/2 before dropping down to .50/1 is a retarded thing to do. If you lost 800 bucks at 1/2 then you were playing bad poker, on drugs, on tilt for an absurdly long time, or the unluckiest person alive.

It happens. Besides good bank roll habits should begin at the lower levels. If you're carrying only 300 as you move up you <u>will</u> lose it eventually.

i might want to argue that your play was probably not consistent of a winning player over the entire stretch

Eh, perhaps. I think I was a marginal winner even while I was seeing triple and crap though. Definitely not a big one for a while though.

I will just note that 10 tabling on no sleep for a few days... is not a winning strategy [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You may play limit better than I do, but I would bet that my win rate when I play $1-$2 is much higher than your win rate at whatever limit you had that 450 BB downswing.

Bankroll requirements are proportional to SD^2/WR. Doubling your win rate cuts your bankroll requirements in half and vice versa. Huge downswings are usually caused by low win rates. Someone crushing a microlimit game with 150 BB may be safer than an expert in a tough game with 500 BB.
