That Inevitable downswing...

[Zybomb]

When this downswing was being discussed before i was tryin to find an old thread of mine where I was on fire for about 4 weeks straight, although at lower stakes (never higher than 3/6 NL) and remind you to be prepared for the downswing and remember "thats no limit". Keeping within your bankroll is key for dealing with this.

On the subject of higher stakes, the live game at the card room where I go to play 3 or so times a week is a 5/5 game which plays a little bigger than a typical online 2/4 or 3/6. Standard raises vary from 25-40 on average, sometimes going up to 50. The max buy in is 1000, but the average player buys in for 500-700 depending on the overall stacks at the table, but there is usually 10 grand or more on the table...pots can be several hundred or 1-2k at times as well....

I think an online 5/10 would play a little bigger than this game, but not THAT much....so I'm probably going to give it a shot sometime in the near future (probably once I get funds over to Party)
