Default Re: Worst downswing ever?

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!

with the current state of 6-max plo games, i pretty much expect to have at least one 10+bi downswing every month.

Pete,

Can you (or anyone else) expand on this point? What is it about the current state of the game that would lead to at least one 10BI downswing/month? How is this different from the previous state of the game? Would you not expect the same variance in the prior state?

Thanks.
