Default Huge swings at PP $1-2

I've been playing on PP for about a year, and just recently started bonus whoring. My question for everyone out there is, does anyone else have very big swings from day to day playing $1-2 on PP? It seems like one day i'll make $80, and the very next day, playing a similar amount of hands lose $100. I am a winning player, but I don't know my exact BB/100. Over the course of clearing 1400 raked hands, I will finish up approx. $300 in game play. What do you guys think?

That is a pretty normal/average swing.

You better get used to it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think the second half of this sentence contradicts the first.

Nevertheless, yes, expect big swings.

I think a session extreme can be +/- 150 BB

I don't know what you're complaining about if you reckon to win $300 on average over 1400 hands. That's 10BB/100 hands approximately at $1/$2.

Nice going if this is a genuine statistic and not a feel-good guesstimate.

If you're multi-tabling your swings will be even greater of course. Being down $100 4 tabling is pretty normal.

They will just happen 'faster'.

Actually it's correct for almost everyone. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Your win rate will drop and standard deviation will go up when multitabling. Maybe not by much, but by a small percentage at the very least.
