I'm mainly asking because I want to prepare myself a little better mentally for those downswings.
In the past I have tilted of my bankroll severall times because of downswings.
I haven't really tilted in 1,5 month now(since I started playing again) But I know big downswings will come.
I never had a big bankroll before though. I usually deposited $50 and won reasonably well, but when a big downswing happened I tilted. A big downswing with a small roll is ofcourse more difficult to handle for everyone.
This time I started playing with $100 and played some 5 and 10nl + some tournaments and sngs untill I had $400. Still underrolled for 25nl but I started anyways.
I have $670 now and I have played 25nl for 3.5K hand now.
So far so good, 15bb/100(I don't expect this to be my longer term average though)
My higest downswing so far was 4buyins, witch was sickly easy to handle now because of my bigger roll. But I still want to know what to expect.
Because when I know what to expect, it's easier to handle(hopefully).
I have the fealing my game is profitable(not optimal), but my main leak could be tilt when it happens, and my main leak was tilt with all my previous deposits.
