-42 buyin downswing NL10 – Page 2

_Anonymous_ · 2008-11-14T23:14:44Z

Is this normal? I'm down 42 buyins using SSS on NL10 over 12000 hands. I've had some smaller downswings before, but 42 buyins? Im playing around 9-14 tables at a time using stats. I've gone from 110 to 26 dollars in 4 days, if this downswing continues I'm soon down at 0. And this last day has been insane, -16ptbb/100 over 1000 hands. I'm losing with higher PPs vs lower PPs preflop allin, people calling my c-bets when I've missed with lowest pair on the table, people folding to my c-bets when I've hit, people hitting 5 or 3 outers when we're allin on the flop, running into aces with kings, losing way more coinflips than I win and so on.

I think the big number of bad players is the main reason why BSS is more suitable for this limit than SSS. Why to win only 20BB if the donk is willing to give you his whole stack?
The main advantage of playing SSS is that you can easily become pot commited so better players don't have a big edge over you. But at NL10 there aren't so many good players. That's why I think SSS is more suitable for the higher limits.

I agree that with at least 20BI BSS is a good idea for NL10.

However, it's crazy to play it with 5BI, and from what I've read Magulina is down to less than 30$. There are leaks in Magulina's strategy which were identified after posting more details in this thread, so the situation can definetly be mproved and with this BR you cannot play anything other than SSS or 1$SnG's.

Pokerstars has 0.01/0.02 games. If you buy-in for 100BB, with $50 you have 25 buy-ins. More than enough.

duh.. totally forgot

Magulina, if your platform has lower limits you can try them out, but I assume it doesn't.

1 big blind on the swedish platform is around 12.5 cents.

Isn't it kinda bad to buyin for 100 big blinds on 0.01/0.02 on pokerstars, since its 250 bbs deep?

No, it isn't. Usually the standard max buy-in is 100BB. 0.01/0.02 and 0.02/0.05 are nano limits, that's why I think they increased the max buy in. If you buy-in for 100BB, for you it's 100BB deep. It doesn't matter that the others have more.
Even if you have bankroll to buy-in for 250 bbs (20 X 5=$100), I think it's better to buy-in for 100BB at 0.02/0.05, because usually all the other limits have a max buy-in of 100.

from what i can see of your stats you seems to be playing overly tight,
also i think your playing to passivley pre flop, your PFR is very low
