Sigh, another day of bricks means we need to reload again. We are down 170bi's now which although it is disappointing 200+bi swings at these are really standard and I have absolutely no doubt I am profitable in these games, just sucks that so few run so it takes so much longer to ride through the variance. Lmk plz who's in for reloading.

I wouldn't say 'really standard' dude. Yes I'd say it's standard/expected, but ~200 buy-in downswings only occur on occasion?

Obv in & have shipped.

GLGL, win now please.

I'd echo this.  I did a bit of back of the envelope stats, and I think the chance of your results for a breakeven player is probably less than 5% over the 470 games you have played.  If you are profitable, it should be even lower. 

I know I have nothing to do with this staking, but if this happened to me, I'd be at least stopping to reassess.

I think I get psychological blocks sometimes with particular tournaments when on a bad streak.  Sometimes just taking a breather from that particular tournament and hittting them fresh can make a difference.

Good luck.

how did you work this out? I have no history with sng's whatsoever but I can't imagine that less than 1 in 20 times and breakeven player will lose 170buyins in 470 games. Seems like it should happen way more frequently given the nature of these things.

I have no idea though would be interested to see how this stuff is worked out, i'm going purely on instinct

I just did a quick sharkscope, and he got 34 top 10 % finishes in 470 games.  This should be a binomial distribution with probability 10%, so he should be getting 47 on average if he is average (I used break even incorrectly). 

Standard deviation is 6.5 or so (hopefully).  Hence he is 2 standard deviations away from average.  Approximating this to normal, which should be ok over this sample is just about spot on a 95% confidence interval.   You have a 1 in 20 chance of been more than 2 standard deviations either way.   Looking at negative 2 standard deviations down only it is around 1 in 40.

I don't know if these are a lot tougher than the $15 ones, but whatever the reason for the downswing I'd take a break if I saw this in my results.

Apologies if the stats is rubbish.
