had one for about 110 BI's and now one in may one for 125. The last one was insanely fast (about 60k hands).

serious question.

No you are not the only one, I have also had 2 100BI+ downswings last year. The variance in this game is so sick, I dont think peope get how sick it actually is.

Last year I was breakeven for 1.4 Million hands, with an EV bb/100 winrate of 2bb/100.

the upswings are the most crazy things. Like 400 BI straight up flopping nuts every hand, every hero-call right and you can't do any wrong. So frustrating when you're on the other side but you have to love it - its a big part of why the games run.

Yea true, and it is the reason why I do like PLO in fact.
The one thing that frustrates me is that I have done nothing but experience extremely sour runs everytime I try and play 25-50 +. Without a bit of luck or definitly no bad luck everytime you take a shot it is impossible to be able to play a new limit. Hopefully It will come soon for me as well.
gl and see you in 2 weeks when I will be playing again.

Very true. 25-50 is a different kind of jump than any other limit up to that point. I took like 3 shots trying to play it on stars and just got my clock cleaned everytime. On PTR I was a winner at every limit 1-2 to 10-20 and then a $65k loser at 25-50. Gotta get lucky when moving up but, then again, if you're good and keep trying, eventually it will happen.

+1 for sure, running good at the start when jumping to 25/50 is so crucial

Eire blocks a fair bit of Galfond's bluffing range that he beats
