I understand that 3D is a swingy game, but wow have I been going through some massive swings.
-40BB then +60BB over only 112 hands.

Is this out of line or normal?

3d?

I guess he means 2-7 triple draw?

yea

and i wouldn't worry about bankroll swings in such a small sample, i'd worry more about the cause of it if you weren't comfortable with it...like are you playing too many hands? drawing too often?

I've got to learn how to play this.

i heard that the best TD player who posts on this forum regularly goes through 80+ BB swings in a session.

i wouldn't be surprised if someone had a huge database, figured out their standard deviation and calculated that you needed a 500BB+ bankroll to be adequate.

I was told that you probably need a roll that is comparable to a standard SHLHE roll, the swings are about the same.

So I'd be constantly wanting to slit my wrists if I were playing this game as well?

Good to know because this is what has been driving me nuts about this game, but those up swings can be a lot of fun.

Thats pretty much why I quit this game and SHLHE.

SHLHE = shorthanded limit holdem?
if SHLHE has big swing, then SH NL would be worse~

In terms of swings to your bankroll, it's not worse.

if you're playing good players and can snow fairly often successfully, 2-7 is the highest variance game out there. AINEC. i regularly have 200BB swings in a day or two when i'm playing it as my main game.

same can be said for SHLHE

What is a good bb/100 for td? Just starting to play and it seems that it is game where alot of the players lack good fundamentals so I was thinking it may be higher than other limit games.

I have huge swings in the game myself and ive been playing for years. The funny thing is that I have found there to be less swings when I'm playing heads up. Maybe thats because im a good hu player but I think it might be a reality that there are less swings hu in this game.

Just started with SHLH, put in about 3000 hands, it's swingy but not as swingy as 3Draw

lol at 3k hands

Ya but I'm not one to think you need a brazillion hands to know which way is up.

hi, just missed this:)

if you're playing predictable and/or bad players, 5-6BB/100 is a strong winrate, but if you're playing largely against people who know how to mix it up and trick you a bit, 2-3 would be extremely strong.
