lol I'm sure I've had 20bi upswings, not in one day though! thats one hella lot of variance, you must keep a massive bankroll.

Well I am but this isn't standard for me, it's just not *that* out of the ordinary. 10 buyins is very standard and 5 buyins isn't even a downswing it's just a bad start to the session. I don't really play that crazy at all though, a lot of people don't really get it. Before UIGEA I was a completely generic regular, at 5/10 I am a completely generic regular, but when all the Americans were banned I was left with a bunch of nits at $600NL and below, and it is only recently that the games have evolved back to where they were 6-9 months ago when the regulars sort of knew how to play (other than just folding a lot). Also 5/10 has been drying up and some of the regulars have been sucking it up and playing 3/6 so now people are finally starting to understand some things, which sucks! So yeah, only recently has variance really started to kick in because people aren't just autofolding jacks and lower preflop anymore, and laying down to 9/10 squeezes.

Just play and it will come.

My last year or so:

The last 50K hands again in detail:

I wouldn't have thought such a bad run is possible in soft games. I just hope it doesn't come worse [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, my SD/100 is around 45 - kind of conservative...

50k hands on a losing streak, painful. I think 30-40k hands is the longest I've been breakeven for, but I'm a nit.. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
