Hi,
I play cash games. Cutting along storey short i'v been break even over my last 8k/9k hands after a 13k upswing. What are your longest breakeven spells? Should i be concerned by 8k/9k? I'm pritty sure im plying good solid winning poker atm

50k is deffo starting to be concerning 
... up to 20k should be normal depending on a limit tho... deffo not on -200, where u can be crushing opposition easily
90k, due to a big downswing after which i switched down to a much lower limit, and 100k if you count plo 
a lot of players that make fairly good money from poker have much longer breakeven stretches though
Insanity....
Well i'm playing NL25. As i've said my 13k upswing looks good, then after that its like a valley, down and up, down and up. I guess im going to have to go into lockdown mode then and play most the day on thursday.

Suffice to say that variance can be quite brutal ♠_o:

50+ BI under EV... that's crazy. Funny, cause he must actually be running really good since his EV is over 10bb/100 and I guess that's not sustainable in NL5k
Like 11k for me.
And that graph is really bad but a guy in the downswings forum posted a graph where he is like -100 BI under EV. I even think it was Kruppe but I might be wrong.
