how violent should my swings be (lc)

[speedz99 145]

Hey, I'd ask this is General Strategy, but I want the opinions of the guys that are more often hanging out in here. Besides, I only play LHE, so...What kind of swings do you all normally see? Here is my typical progression...tell me if it looks like I might be doing something to increase my variance.-50BB+60BB-30BB+35BBAnd so on. 50BB downswings are almost normal for me these days...but I have always come back. My bb/100 is where it should be, but I feel like I take the long way around to get there. But maybe this is normal, I just wanted to check.Thanks.

It's normal, don't sweat it.

swings are crazy. ive heard of 25k or more hands where a GOOD player was a .5BB/100 winner.what is everyones standard deviation/hour and /100 hands?i think mine is 23BB and 21BB after 13k hands.

I have an unsubstantiated theory that your variance and standard devisation increase as:a) your aggression increases andB) the agression of the games you choose increasesI tend to choose passive games and I'm significantly less aggressive than most folks on this board and my SD is around 11. I tend not to have major swings in a session (exclusing the typical bad beats and random big pots). 4-tabling I generally find a slow, steady increase. Good or bad, I dunno... but that's how it is.Jeff
