How do you swing?

Just curious to know how you guys swing with your bankroll. Share specific stories, or general averages. On average, I only do well for 2-3 days, then it's at least 2 weeks of horrible losses, then cycle repeats. I've hit 2 months of sick losses twice as well.
I also would like to hear tips on those who swing less volatile and how they do it.
Sometimes we feel alone in our sick down-swings. Wanted to create this thread to show we're all in the same boat. And also, I'm bummed right now, and wanted to take a break, lol.

i like to build my bankroll up high then go on tilt and lose it all

I think it tends to even out but you do go through good streaks and then bad streaks also, the worst bad streak i was ever on lasted only like 2 1/2 weeks where no matter what i did or how i played a hand i couldn't win nothing. I do love those swings of good sessions though

I am currently trying to build my bankroll. When I have about $10 or $20 dollars, I still only like to play the $0.11 bumblebee tournaments. I try not to spend it all in one place. Once in a while, I might try the $2.20 tables but if I see that I'm on a losing streak, I just go back to the lower tables. Been on a losing streak a lot lately and it's starting to really bother me. I will have a good hand, and then lose on the river, to another player who plays off-suited, crappy cards.

funny, im currently in the process of getting my br snatched right from under me by some donks on merge... chasers get lucky all too often

Thread title lead me to think this was going to be something else ...

Poker swings do happen to everyone. Its probably best if you view poker as one long session. If you're winning/losing for the short term it really makes little difference in the long term. Things tend to balance out over time. Assuming you are playing fundamentally sound poker most of the time.

Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming. I enjoy reading these and knowing I'm not alone. Right now, I'm $200 down the hole. I'm trying not to tilt really really hard.

I play like balls in Micros now hehe, but sometimes it's up $1000 and later down to $300 shit happend lol.

most(not all) last a few days,,,thank god,,,like today,,,screwed over quite a few times...

I always have bad swings in poker.

What do you guys think about this? Seems like good upward swings are much rarer than bad down swings, and if you agree, you think that's just the way it is, or is it mostly due to tilting that leads to playing bad or beyond a person's bankroll. For me, I think I can be guilty tilting and making my downswing trend grow exponentially until I'm broke, and there are times when I think I controlled myself well, but shit just keeps coming until I go broke anyway, but perhaps that's just wishful thinking and I still got a lot of growing up to do in the felts.

thats awesome i too build up my bankroll, seem to then go to a big cash table, and lose it all. Ive done this so many times its rediculous. I always want to go for the big money as soon as I build up my bankroll to around 500 dollars then its big cash table time. I want to know how to get out of this habit, any suggestions?

Dont go to the cash table? If you do, never sit down with more than 5% of your roll. If you lose doing that, you are not a cash player, stick to tourneys.

I consider myself the best player at every table i play at and i usually never leave the tables empty handed but merge's casino is a different story! lol definitely a money trap!

part of being a good cash player is good bankroll management which sometimes hard to maintain..i usually win at cash table but find my self staying to long at the table with the downswing comes..you got to know when the fold and run..that is the part i am trying to master
