Default Standard swing size?

Assuming you're a winning player, what size downswings should you expect on the regular?

Omaha seems a lot swingier than NL, I have 4 buyin downswings all the freaking time. Normal?

In NL I have maybe one 4-7 buyin downswing a month, in Omaha it seems like I have a 4+ DS every other day.

Maybe I just suck?

i don't think 4 buy-ins counts as a "downswing"

It's rare I ever lose, so going down 4 buyins is def a swing for me.

Yeah, 4 is definitely pretty standard. I play LAG 4 tables at a time so my swings get as bad 10-15 buyins per session.

I hate this game. If there wasn't so much money to be made, I would stick with HE.

I'm currently on a 15 BI downswing, and that is just this week.

About a month and a half ago I went through an 18 BI downswing.

I started this month by dropping 15bi and that's happened at least 4 times this year.
