3/6 NL...
drop 5 buys in Right away, win 10 back in 600 hands...
this session proved its VERY important to be rolled for a game. no tilt here.

Crazy, isn't it?

I don't think I've had quite that much variance over 600 hands, but I did lose 4 buy ins in 50 hands a couple of months ago, remember? That was freaking brutal.

Today ended up pretty ugly too: I played about 500 hands of 5/10 NL, peaking at up about $1800 and finishing up maybe $500. Then I played another 500ish hands of 3/6, and finished the DAY down about $2500 overall... That's a healthy 5 buy in drop right there, and like you, no tilt. I think my table selection wasn't optimal, but more than that, I was just running into monsters, and my opponents couldn't miss a draw.

I think people who say 10 buy ins is enough to be rolled for a game are crazy (6 max NL, anyway). I think 20 should be the bare minimum, and I think 50 is a lot better.

losing 4 buy ins in 50 hands still has to be the record for craziest without tilt.

50 buy ins really seems to be the best, 20 would be fine, but 10 is def. crazy, 10 buy ins is pretty much taking shot if ur gonna play any type of aggressive good poker.
