Arbitrarily large, both in dollars and in hands, if you play long enough.

All of them?

You provide winrate (0BB/100) It also depends on bankroll, and on standard deviation, it depends on the game (some are higher variance), and on what your definition of a downswing is, and on what you mean by "probably".

Many WINNING players will have downswings in the tens of thousands of hands. A breakeven player could easily deplete his bankroll, making the downswing all of his hands.
