Worst downswing ever?

[getitfixed]

14 days into this month I was 21 buy ins at my usual stakes. The real XXXX salad part about it was, I was going to start moving up this month! So, I'm still grinding it out at 75% 1/2 and 25% .50/1. Still stuck for the month, but not after rakeback! =)


By the way Scoot, I love you BR management! I think I'll try that.

Mine is actually about 8 BI, people talking about 27 buy ins scare the crap out of me.

I had a 15 BI downswing at 0.50/1 in early September and this kind of put me off Omaha for a bit. Fortunately it came after a 20 BI heater, although I'd taken a bunch of the money out as profit already.

Just remember bankroll management, and if you're below 20 BIs, drop down a level.

i´ve managed to lose 5-8 buy-ins at one single table several time. i wouldn´t call it a downswing though as there was a lot of tilt involved.

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.

I assume this is a weak attempt at leveling? Scoot has it figured out, IMO, move up and yuo are only down half as much! Don't be a nit!

meh, probably somewhere in the 20-30 range, playing 25/50..
