I clicked 50-100 as my biggest downswing in a day ever. This was two days ago. Yesterday I lost 120BB in 2k hands. I blame this thread. You jinxed me.

Down 149.5BB over 1078 hands (full table) just this past weekend. Those hands were spread over a couple days and don't count short table play (I didn't play much this weekend and I split my time about 50/50 short and full).

Geeze that would be hard to do in that short amount of time at a full table. I feel the reason I had never hit -100BB in a day was becaseu I didnt play 6max until about a 3 weeks ago. Do you feel you downswing was tilt induced?

It's amazing to me that so few people have never had anything over 150 bets. I dropped >150 BB's yesterday playing 3 tables in under an hr and a half. Such is limit hold'em.

300bb, but I play NL

[/ QUOTE ]

Only 300bb's at NL?? How long have you been playing for... a week? two weeks?

[/ QUOTE ]

hah, yeah, i never lost 3 buyins when i played NL...riiight...if 300bb is his biggest NL downswing then HE is in for a rude awakening. i would say i probably lost 700 bbs in a day on nl? sure. 110 is my biggest downswing in limit though, although it happened over 3 days and right after an 80 bb upswing.

No tilt at all. Sunday started off as a break even session and went downhill in a BIG hurry. After 15 minutes of having my ass handed to me on a silver plater, I felt tilt set in and I quit for the day.

GoT - I think you made an excellent point. Personally, a 150BB downswing in a day would put me on serious tilt. I turn off the computer and do something else before I hit that frame of mind. I think you aren't seeing a lot of numbers higher than 150 because a lot of people can't handle it psychologically (I'm in that group). More experienced players (such as yourself), can handle it w/o going on perma-tilt.

Just my 2 cents.
