Default Re: What is a \"normal downswing\"

10 buyins is normal, 20-25 is exceptional but not impossible for the best players.

And i had a breakeven stretch for 50k hands, while running at 7ptBB/100 over 50k hands when I had the same skill level I think. Variance is a bitch and I don't think many players understand it completely.

That being said, you should always look first to your game and don't blame it all on downswing. Just be honest and study the game, think if you made any mistakes after a session so you know it's not all downswing and bad luck but also bad play. (and tbh, I didn't read much of this thread)
