Hey I definitely know that feeling. My worst short period downswing was 6 buy-ins in 45 min. I quit poker for 3 days after that.

Wow, you guys are wimps! I lost 8 buy-ins yesterday (a lot of spew lol) and didn't sweat it. Just keep on the grind. (Of course I didn't feel so bad about the 8 because I'd been winning at least 5 for a week every day before that) I've had maybe 3 or 4 10+ buy-in downswing and my std dev is like 100bb according to HEM, which is probably wrong but I'm definitely on the high end of variance.

Less than 10 buy-in wins/loses are not even swings... and 100bb/100 standard deviation is for nits.

I have standard deviation little above 130bb/100. =p
