MTT's are going to be very high variance. Make sure you have at least 100 buy-ins for whatever level you are playing. Might want 150 if you are playing just turbos at that level.

I def don't think 100 or even 150 is enough not when the "if you think it can't get any worse it does" type downswings coume around.

but it has one advantage.
after some 1,5-2k downswings, you just laugh at those tiny 500$ swings...
today they are as usual like brushing my teeth in the morning

Sometimes with all the talk of downswings I wonder how many people turn a profit. Or is the game so enjoyable that no-one cares?

yeah its really crazy, but there are times... very few...
you win coins, and more important you win the hands in which you're ahead, dont run into ridicolous setups... thats where you make your winnings.
poker is 95% downswing and 5% normal in my opinion

My biggest downswing was around 2600 I believe. Recently, I didn't cash in 64 straight and only like 1 or 2 min cashes in 130.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

12/180 swings are for girls... you want a real massive downswing play the hyper turbos... I'm sure jorj can tell you something about that.
