How many buy ins in a day lost would you consider the difference between being a standard case of variance over 2k hands or a case of needing to change how you play the game?

7 buy ins down over 2k hands atm most hands i have been ahead when the money gets in the pot the rest have been flips and i can only count 2 hands i was behind in pair vs pair.

Just after some sort of yardstick to see if i need to put in a stop loss or if i need to just play my game and wait for the turnaround.

depends on wat u play... all different.... hu has the most variance... and downswings are infamous... so specify wat u play..

Sorry should have put that in full ring micro atm.

This. HU PLO is kindda different from FR LHE, DUCY?

Post is kinda late DUCY? Smartarsing in the BQ isnt appreciated.

winnings/EV graph? if you're getting it in good there's not much you can do, you can't change how the cards fall. you just have to handle the variance (good bankroll management, don't tilt just because you're running bad). take a break if it's stopping you from playing to the best of your ability

If you put a stoploss in, you'll never have the JOY of grinding back to finish up $0.12 for the day.

7BI down session at FR 2000 hands seems entirely doable. Typical swings of 20BI over extended periods (30K+) seems so standard it barely makes a page 12 headline in small stakes FR forum.

Grind through, OX

TY Spew. I wish i had the HEM graph atm but im stuck at the Monster in laws. I figured as much.

I be grinding they be donkin.

EDIT: Also Spew can ya change the spelling in the title of the thread plox? Drunktarded spelling FTW

Ive been through a 5 BI downswing in a day but my head started to hurt so I stopped. I have been through a 20BI downswing over a month or so, just as long as you are nitty with BR and play lower and lower - your better play will see you through. I stress if a buyin becomes > ~2% of my roll.

Absoloutly.

I you so much right now lol

My life is compleet now.

As long as your playing your A game and your better then the competition. Play for as long as you possibly can.

Defo can happen in one session, we've all been there.

Just make sure u review ur sessions properly and identify where the losses happen and if there was anything u could have done differently to avoid it, ie reads, villain's ranges that kinda thing. I often think at the time 'oh thats just unlucky' but when u review it back in slow time its so clear I coulda got away.

Gl climbing out :-)

i feel your pain.
