SSNL: Normal Swings?

dp13368 · #1 07-13-2006, 09:09 PM

What is the usual BB or buyin swings that you go through in a session?

I 4 table NL100 full ring for 4-8 hours at once and am wondering what the typical/normal swings a 'winning' player goes through over the course of each session?

+/- 3-4 buys is normal for a long session, IMO. +/- 8 - 10 buys is abnormal, but certainly possible.

I usually play 2 hour sessions of full ring NL50 and my swings are mostly in the +/- 1.5-2 buy-ins range.

I usually play 2-4 hour sittings at 100NL, 4 tables, 6-handed. Big upswings are usually 3, sometimes 4, buyins. On the downswing side it's 2-3, but that's only because I quit for the day before going lower. (I don't play well when I'm down that much.) Every now and then, I'll go up to 5 or more buy-ins if the coin flips go my way.

Damn, that must be boring.

As for the question, I have had a 8 buyin downswing, but 2 or 3 buyins were from tilt. Learned my lesson though, haven't tilted since.

3-4 is pretty regular at 200NL for me at least (6-8 tables 6 handed for 2 hours at a time)

OP: Play more tables. Full ring decisions are somewhat more simple and mechanical (and less frequent) so 8+ tables should be your goal.

Oh, and I usually 12 table for up to 4 hours, biggest swings have been +/- 12ish buyins.

jeez. i just started 4 tabling FR and it can be overwhelming. usually i do okay until i'm involved in a pot in 2 or 3 of my tables, then i think i get a little run over. i guess i'll have to adjust slowly though and hopefully move up to 6 or even 8 tables in the future.

I 4 tables too, I think I could be ready for 6 but i dont have enough space to fit them and i dont want them to overlap.
