Been on a downswing at $10 PLO. It's now crossed the 20 buyin mark. I understand that PLO variance is considered roughly double hold'em variance. So if 20 buyins is a standard hold'em bankroll then 40 for PLO would be about the largest statistically reasonably likely downswing you would see.
So maybe 20 buyins is just the halfway point. We will see I guess. There was some PLO variance before. I was around even then hit a 7 buyin loss. Recovered from there fairly well and got back into the black. So from there the first 7 buyin hit didn't seem too bad. Then there was a second and a third minus 7 stacks. ouch.
Oh well. I think I'm playing ok but I guess I'm not sure. I've avoided tilt and tightened up if anything. It seems like I've been ahead when most of the money has gone in but you only remember the beats.
I've been looking at results less and instead focusing on volume targets. That's been going fairly well. The nice thing about these stakes is that the overall amount is not a disaster. Reload bonuses on Stars and Tilt can be nice so I'll have to keep my eyes open. Most of my online roll is in my own bank account, not on the sites.
