Default Re: Swings. . . WTF

I had exactly one 7.5 buy-in swing when I played .05/.10 NL (I grinded this level out until I had $1500 so it took awhile). At that level it shouldn't be that common. Post some hands as has been suggested and perhaps even post your stats over your entire run thus far, not just the latest losing streak.

I can tell you that it does happen. One time I dropped 4 buy-ins in about 20 minutes. The average lead I had on my opponents was about 80% everytime I put my money in during this crazy 20 minutes. So yeah, 7.5 BI can happen, even too good players.

I would say about 6-8 buyins swings are normal.

But at the low levels, you shouldn't have swings at all because there are so many donks who just pay off every single top pair you flop that you cannot run bad unless you are a bad poker player.
