dna4ever 2 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I had a -100BB Short handed Swing this weekend (about 30 table hours). I have never had one of those before and curious if this is to be expected at some point. I have only been playing short handed for about 6 months and have never had a downswing this hard. Usually play $5/$10 or $10/$20. Link to post Share on other sites
mikeysong 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 i'm surprised that u haven't experienced a 100bb downswing until now. I just hit one this week at 3/6 sheI guess that's why they like to suggest a 500bb BR for SHE eh? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Pffff.... When I played SH LHE, I would get a 100 BB swing ever week!(Maybe not, but definitely a more than a few of them over my short SH LHE career) Link to post Share on other sites

Usually play $5/$10 or $10/$20.100 BB downswings are common at 10-20. If this is your first time having a 100 BB downswing you're probablly playing too tight which is costing you money.

Willenation 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 SHLHE is, as far as I know, the single highest variance game out there. I play the same levels and I've definitely had waaaaaaaaay bigger downswings than that. Just keep playing your game and it'll come back. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'm either still in the midst of or just done with a 200BB downswing at 2/4 SH. I wish it had only been 100BB. It's actually got me to the point of wondering if I'm still playing the game optimally. Shorthanded limit hold'em is incredibly hard on your ego. Link to post Share on other sites

I still believe I have an edge though, so I tend to think I should get back to it at some point. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 for the life of me i cant imagie why you people enjoy playing this game. youre all a bunch of maschoists.When you're running well and playing against bad players, it's an insanely profitable game.

mikeysong 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 and if u have rakeback, it's even more profitable (as long as u're a winning player of course) Link to post Share on other sites

Flack_attack 0 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I've had +/- 100BB days! Short-handed is seriously brutal. Link to post Share on other sites
hotbacon 0 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Maybe I've already forgotten after switching to NL, but if i remember correctly when I played a lot of SHLE losing or winning 100BB was pretty much average an aaverage day. Link to post Share on other sites
