Typical Swings at 50NL?
 

The past 2 days (about 6K hands) I've been raised almost every time I c-bet with nothing and force folds when I c-bet with a hand. It sucks to keep getting check raised and re-raised by players with like 0.5 aggression. It sucks when they are hitting 2/3 of their flops instead of 1/3 and are 2:1 to hit their set instead of 7.5:1, etc. etc. Sorry for the rant.

What is a typical downswing for 50NL on FTP and what is a typical number of hands to break even for?

Re: Typical Swings at 50NL?
 

Downswings can be pretty bad...

Re: Typical Swings at 50NL?
 

Any good estimates?

10 buyins? 15 buyins? More?

Break even for 10K hands? 20K hands?

Re: Typical Swings at 50NL?
 

12 buy ins my worst.

Re: Typical Swings at 50NL?
 

That's so gross. The players just donk away with their 1st level thinking, limp and call out of position all day, and we can still lose 12+ buyins to them.

12-15 buyins will happen. I usually have at least two 6-8 BI downswings per month. It usually starts with some coolers, then gets to full speed with some tilt, and doesn't end until the day 2 coolers are finished.

Forgot to add that I play about 60k hands per month at NL100/200, so maybe go by that?

most i've felt is 5 BU downswing at 25nl

Re: Typical Swings at 50NL?
 

lol, yeah. Tilt starts to ensue around 6-8. Once you hit 10 it's like popping your cherry imo. But I think 6-8 is the norm for nl50. Anything over that is usually tilt/playing bad. For me at least.

Well I've had a 42 buyin downswing in the $12 9-man SNGs after beating the game for a nice ROI over 3000+ SNGs. Weird [censored] can happen, even when you are playing well. It's scary to think that it's possible to go on such a massive downswing.

LiftTilt summed it up perfectly. I do have to admit thought that nowadays I can take beats much better than I used to be able to. The swings are a really big part of the game, especially if you play lots of tables.
