Question about downswings.

[David04]

I have yet to experience a painfully long downswing or breakeven period. Partially because I do not play very many hands, partially because I have played nano-limits until recently(.01/.02, .02/.04, .05/.10)

Obviously, if your skill is far greater than that of your average opponent, downswings will be less frequent and shorter in length(at least that seems logical, please correct me if I'm wrong)

At the nano-limits, players are terrible, it is easy to crush these games, therefore, a good player's edge is huge and downswings will occur less frequently.

At the "Big Game", I would have to imagine that a player's edge is very small over anyone else, thus creating a small winrate and the potential for frequent and/or long downswings.

So, on to my question. I play .50/1 at the moment. Assume that I am an average winning player, average winrate, decent stats. What kind of downswings are probably at .50/1? I am trying to increase my poker playing, but I want to know what I am getting into first.

Thanks.
