This is a good example of running bad. In poker your going to have swings from up, cashing in most every tournament, and downs, where you cant win no matter what you do. You want to have a big cash to out way your loses. In tournaments you can win one that will cover your next 100 or more depending on buy-in and amount of players in it. In cash games, you will have swings like you do in tournaments but can be more worse since in cash game you can go bust in first hand. I played live at new Orleans casino in Vegas 1/2 nl bring in was $300. This guy set down and rebought five times in ten minutes. He was drinking heavy and talking a lot playing every hand aggressively. It was nuts, I was thinking man he needs help, I felt bad for him cause when he solbers up and relies he lost two grand in thirty minutes ,what`s he going to do. I don't really know how deep his pockets where but he was throwing around cash like it was water.
