Finally! Out of a one month 22 buy-in downswing

[professor76]

Hi all,

I'm sure many SNG players have experienced this, the dreaded prolonged one month downswing .

After one year of playing, this is probably the longest one so far.

At one point of time, I was down 22 SNG buy-ins. Took me 327 games to recover. Below are stats for the Full Tilt $6.50 Turbos

No of Games: 200
Invested: $1300
Returns: $1172.20
Profit/Loss: -$122.80 (approx -19 buy ins)
ROI: -9.44%
Remarks: Feeling lousy, 2 weeks, 200 games with a loss! Thank goodness for rakeback


No of Games: 327
Invested: $2125.50
Returns: $2149.00
Profit/Loss: $23.50
ROI: It's positive, finally!
Remarks: The one-month downswing is over! Relief, confidence, no more questioning if I can beat the $6.50 Turbos.

Brag: Last 50 games
Invested: $325
Returns: $432
Profit: $107
ROI: 32.92%


But seriously...is a 22 buy-in downswing common??

Pretty common for most players.

Not in $6.5 sngs, no. Fish.

Xyven, are you saying at $6.50 stakes, it is impossible to have a one month, 22 buy-in downswing? That's what I thought initially, as I've been playing for more than a year with decent results at $6.50. Below are the overall stats for Full Tilt $6.50.

No of games: 1176
Invested: $7644.00
Returns: $8434.60
Profits: $790.60
ROI: Slightly more than 10% (Was running at 13-15% before this downswing)

But seriously, I couldn't believe some of the suck-outs during this one month...set loses to straight, flush loses to full house, AA loses to KK when K flops, etc..

Are you the professor from the sng videos? If so, the fact that you are only down 22 buyins is amazing.

[professor76]

No, I am not that professor from those videos. I am aware that he plays as professor76 on pokerstars and once, I met professor77 on Full Tilt which is him. Not me.
