Swings on the 5/10 6 max (reposted from low-limit forum)
I am sorry if this is bad ettiquette. I just posted this in the low limits pages and someone pointed me in this direction. I'm new here and have no idea about forum rules, nor could I find anything about them. Anyhow:
A bit of ground clearing first. I have never really taken poker that seriously. I have played for over a year, B&M and online. I haven't kept records in the past, but I am clearly to the good over that time. I know some people convince themselves of that, but I just am. I managed to pay my rent up front for six months by playing the Party 5/10 6max tables over summer. Anyhow, I very recently started to take it all a bit more seriously. I have been three tabling 5/10 on Party for four hours a day. Now since taking it more seriously I have experienced massive swings. Having worked my way up the limits with relative ease, I have ever since fluctuated betweek 3K and 5K. What concerns me most is that the swings are so protracted. For three days I'll absolutely kill the game, and then for another three I'll get demolished. Is this normal? Do the swings of 2BB/100 players look like this? I ask because, though at the time it just seems as though everything's going against me (can't hit a draw, sets won't fill up etc.), I can't escape the feeling that when I'm down on confidence my game deteriorates badly. Like I say, I feel at the time as though it doesn't. I feel as though I'm maintaining composure, but my chips just keep disappearing. Then things will turn around and I'll tear it up. I wonder if anyone has any comments or advice? Is this just normal variance, or should I be concerned?

Given that there seems to be consensus that this is the case, is the required bankroll greater than 300bb for 6 max?

Most would say (I think) that you want 500BBs. A few will say 1000BBs if you're planning on being static at whatever level.

I have some savings to fall back on, but my plan is to try to get by just playing poker. So from what you lot seem to be saying, I'm insane to do that on SH tables with a 300BB bankroll, right? I suspect it's the 3/6 for me for a while. Why don't party have 6 max at that level, I've never understood.
