I have been playing 6max at FT at the NL5 level for a couple of months. Recently I have run good and also cashed in a couple of tournaments. Consequently I got my bankroll to a level where I have 25 buy ins for NL10. Not one to hang around I began playing at this level straight away. In my first 2 days at NL10 I have encountered some major swings (+ 1 buy in, then I was -4 buy ins, then break even, then -5 buy ins, now I am up 3 buy ins).
What I am wondering; is this standard variance for SH tables? (I have about 25k hands played on SH tables but I think at NL5 either the swings wern't so bad or I didn't notice them as the size in $ of the swings is obviously smaller)
If it is the case that variance is much larger- should I consider changing the number of buy-ins from 25 to a higher number to absorb some of the fluctuations?
If I should what number of buy-ins would people reccomend?
Thanks
Hopey
