So for past 2 weeks I've been playing my bankroll been going from $950 to $700. One day I won a session and then I lose 2 to 3 sessions. Then again, I catch a winning session and boom, terrible sessions starts again. Like I said, my bankroll been swinging like that and I don't know if it's normal. I have like 50k hands in at nl25 with 2bb winrate which I honestly doesn't matter much. I looked at primedope and a with 10bb winrate is facing quite a lot of swings in + 5 buy ins range. At the back of my head it is normal but I wanted to ask on the forum if it's really normal or not. I just can't see how someone can avoid downswings like that when you are coolered left and right.

The Primedope data is great in terms of visualising this and, for the scale of downswing you're referring to (i.e. 5BI or 500BB) there isn't a sample that it generates which doesn't include multiple repeats of this within a 50k hand sample.
In other words, 5 buy in downswings are an inevitability, whatever your win rate.

What I hate is the 5 buy-ins in one day!
Yeah. It's crazy because I'm in a downswing, then I start running good and I'm hit with coolers, bad beats again and I have to regrind again.

My record loss is nine buy-ins in 300 hands. Usual story, maniac on table who just can't lose. Fortunately, it only occurs very rarely. But when it did, I am amazed I didn't smash my computer up. I couldn't leave the table after a stop-loss because that would theoretically be -ev with a crazy stacking off preflop with dominated hands like K J.
