Hello, just a quick one so I get an idea. Could you answer my questions please,
First thing - how many buy-ins do you have to use as a cushion?
What is the worse down swing you have had in cash games and what limits are these? I recently was playing 5nl and had the WORSE downs wing in my life all my full houses were being done by bigger full houses, all-ins pre flop with top pairs being out done by trips and so on. I think I lost about 10-12 buy-ins in the course of 2500 hands. Every hand was going against me and I did tilt a couple more buy-ins after. Anyway I quit and had to go back to 2nl and well managed to win back 15buy-ins at 2nl in the last 5000 hands so I'm happy ish but still down over $30.00, which I guess isn't as bad as $62.00! So an idea on what you are like with this would be good.
What is your average buyins in a session based on say maybe as follows:
2500 hands.
How many buyins would you say you win on an average day grinding out 2500 hands?
How many sessions do you win on average?
What sort of dips are classed as normal? I quite often can play 1500-2000 hands, and quickly win a couple of buy-ins then lose again and by the end of the session either slightly up or down.
I've also had swings of losing 4-5 buyins within the first 100 hands and manage to either quit my session or just carry on grinding although it's hard to stay motivated at this point. Are these terrible stats to lose so many buy-ins so quickly?
