Re: Question about upswing
[ QUOTE ]
1) how long can I expect this to last
[/ QUOTE ]
You can't expect it to last a single extra hand, unless the reason for your upswing is that you found a nest of terrible players. In which case, your upswing will last as long as they stay at your table.

I satellited into a pretty big tourney, the biggest ive ever been in, so is there any notion to "saving" my upswing for the tourney because I play 5/10c right now and I dont want to be running super hot there and then come tourney time i go cold. Anyone?

No, there is absolutely no basis for trying to "save" your upswing for the tournament.
Upswings happen for one of two basic reasons:
1) you simply get lucky and hit a hot streak. How long these streaks last is completely random. Nothing you can do can effect how long they will last or when they will return.
2) you are playing against inferior/tilting opponents. As I said before, your upswing will last as long as they stay at your table (or stop tilting).
Notice how neither of these apply to a future tournament.
