Limit is the ultimate long term game, it's hard but you have to try to ignore the swings and concentrate on leaks and playing well. As long as your BB/100 is positive you are ok.

If a downswing takes a big chunk out of your BR, you have two options.

1 - Drop down to a level where you have 300BBs.

2 - Keep a bigger roll, build it to 500BBs so that when you hit a 100BB/200BB downswing you can soak it up and continue playing.

To reduce variance you could fold more marginal situations that are slightly +EV. That could take a while to prove they are (i.e. hands 10,000 up 2,150 down 2000 profit 150).

Whats your current Standard Deviation ? (Its on the sessions notes). and your BB/100 ?
Poker is all about the long long long long long long long term . . .
