    So I've been grinding the non-turbo 6.60 sngs as they are just incredibly soft. I had a sick sick heater (check out my SS if you want to see what I mean) but now I'm starting to get scared. I know I can beat these easily but what is a normal downswing at this level in the non-turbos...surely not as high as the turbos? I'm on a 20 game 10buyin downswing which I'm not at all scared about but is 20 unheard of? Or even 30? Thanks..just looking for what to expect. I know it will all even out.

    About two years ago, when I quit playing for like a year, I had 6.65 left in my account. Ran it up to about 140 playing these things and then went on a downswing and lost it all, like 22 loses after winning 14 in row.

    So if you are properly bankrolled, those swings are normal and wont kill you. If you arent rolled for it, be prepared to go busto.

    Lol I'm overrolled. I play backed even...paranoid about moving up because whenever I do I run like snot. I should be fine but I just wanted to know what a standard downswing was.
