what kind of ROI-swings are standard?

I think this question goes well with the previous frustration-post...What kind of ROI-swings do players have and about how often do they happen?For instance, I'm still playing the micro's to get used to all the crazy swings and other stuff this game has to offer and on average I've won 67% of my matches over the first 600 games (one dollar buy-ins), but now I've played 60 games in the past few days and have only won 54% of them...How standard is an ROI swing of 13%, or is the 60-game sample just much,much too small to say anything reasonable about it?

I think you answered your own

I think you answered your own question at the end there. 60 games running at 54% is still decent and obv you're good enough that with more volume it's going to go back up. I had something very similar happen to me when I first started at the beginning of the month(5.25 reg speeds on Stars): Was running at 30% ROI for my first 100 games(Aug 1st), then for the next two or three days was running at like 5% ROI (another 200 games). Then for another few days I'd run at between 15%-20% (another 200 games). Then I'd run negative the next day. Seems pretty standard to be honest from stuff I've read from other HU players blogs. I know my volume seems ridic but my avg game time(according to HEM) is 8.5mins over 950 games and I two table so getting in 100 games/night is pretty easy in these games. I'm now taking shots at the $10.50s and having similar results. Moral of the story is: volume! If you know you're beating the games, play more and play your A game nearly 100% of the time.Hope this helps a little :)

However, make sure you have

However, make sure you have an A game before you start playing multi tables!!!
