Worst downswing ever?

[Paulie Walnuts]

I'm smack in the middle of mine. I play 2-4 to 10-20PLO. Nothing is worse than running bad at PLO. What's the most anyone has lost on a downswing and how long before it started to come around again for the good?

27 buyins is my current record.

What limits u play and how lon before u made those 27 back or did you?

[pete fabrizio]

~20 buy-ins at 1-2 and 2-4, but i recovered pretty fast after taking a short hiatus. 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.

around 40 buy ins, but I think i let the downswing affect my play. Still working on getting it back.

people play better and raise more preflop, so the winrate/sd of a good player is fairly low compared to the past.
