Re: Worst downswing ever?
Mine's about 40 buy-ins, but that's because I really left it affect my play. I took some time off after that and started playing a lot tighter preflop and I had no trouble getting it back.
When I was actually playing reasonably well, my worst downswing was 27 buy-ins. Not that I was 100% optimal on every decision, but I was playing fairly well at least. That came in the middle of what would have been a 32K hand breakeven stretch if I'd just waited for it to end, but I didn't. I kept chasing my losses to manufacture profits instead and ended up busting my account at about the 28K mark.
