TheCorporation3 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 As far as limit poker goes, for all you grinders/rounders and even recreational players, what is the biggest, worst swing you have taken, BB wise? I have been taking a few 100BB swings and recently took a 125BB swing, but I am at my peak again and still grinding out 4 tables daily, 2-4 level.I have heard horror stories of +250BB, so I was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them and what they did to cope?

RhinestoneCowboy 2 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Drink more fluids before you start, and be sure to stretch for at least 15 minutes. Also, start slow, don't go for a marathon your first time out.Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

dna4ever 2 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I have had at least 5 or 6 100BB downswings. My largest was like 220 I think. Poker can be evil. Link to post Share on other sites
TB17 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I only run bad live. I dont get it, the players are worse but I haven't won a limit session out of 7 live.I lost about 55 BBs last time I went to a casino, thats my biggest limit downswing. Online...probably about 80 BBs. Link to post Share on other sites
Whatever 1 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yea I lost $600 one day playing 2 or 3 tables of 2/4. Not fun. I learned the importance of stop losses after that. And the joys of a new poker game since apparently I forgot how to play limit. Link to post Share on other sites
RodReynolds 90 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm at my all time low right now. I'm currently undergoing a -2200 BB swing, playing 10/20 limit. Man it's rough. Frickin variance though, just gotta make another deposit and keep pluggin away I guess. Link to post Share on other sites

RodReynolds 90 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 You can't be serious? I'm serious. I'm pretty sure the problem is that the donks at this level don't respect my raises. I'm gonna move up a limit to get out of this funk. Link to post Share on other sites

That's when I moved up in limits. I've read SSHE twice now, and I totally get it (I only cold call with KQs...). I'm pretty sure I'm a winning player, just hitting some terrible variance is all.
