Not a swing, but a plateau
I know the topic of swings has been discussed at length, but I have a question that is not posed quite as often.
Rather than looking at a "swing," that is, a high point compared to a low point, I want to ask about "plateaus," or breaking even after x hands. Does anyone have any thoughts on what a typical plateau looks like? Personally, my situation is that I believe I am theoretically beating my game soundly but I am about even after 6000-8000 hands. Anyone care to comment?

Yeah, you'll have worse. Get used to it.

Re: Not a swing, but a plateau
Yep, I just went through a "plateau" as well. Mind you, there was a couple +/- 100BB runs in there, but over 50k hands, a graph definitely gives the impression of a plateau. Finally snapped out of it recently, and I'm back on an upward trend.
So yeah, I think it happens.

Re: Not a swing, but a plateau
to the more experienced players that responded here, how much of your plateaus do you attribute to play rather than variance?

Re: Not a swing, but a plateau
I'm going through a horrible one too right now, about 30K hands so far. It REALLY sucks. Here's a graph of the last 50K or so:
 This is the longest breakeven stretch I've ever had so far. Just gotta play through I guess. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
