Re: Long downswing just have some questions for you guys
windydink, in all seriousness I bet that this is closely related to your first post where you had a plan to make 60k by 12 tabling or whatever the actual plan was. You may well be overextending yourself by playing too many tables and playing when you arent in a state to play your A game.
edit: okay, so I had another quick read of your make 60k post and if I read correctly this supposed downswing might ahve started before your plan. It is not the least bit suprising that it continued or got worse when you started your plan. In any event, when you play as many tables as you do your win rate will inevitably drop and thus any downturn is going to hit you harder since your winrate would be closer to zero.
In the end, most of us replying to this and that other post dont know how well you play and are going to be making assumptions. Basically the best person to diagnose your possible reasons as to why you are having a downswing is YOU although it would be fundamentally amiss of me to not mention Session Reviews as a way to get someone else to go over some hands for you. <font color="white"> 00Snitch, will probably make some comment about me pimping session reviews in a reply to this post...holla </font>
last time i had a downswing I grossly underestimated how much of the downswing was directly related to poor play on my part. Getting out of that downswing very much me involved fixing leaks in my game rather than waiting for the variance pendulum to swing back in my favour. If you want to read how I busted out of my self imposed downswing then the thread by me in the digest that is stickied at the top of the page.

ps I love the fact that one can bonuswhore, lose heavily and still come out the other end with more money that one started with. The only problem is that the easy to clear bonuses do dry up somewhat and you'd have to move down to the list less easy ones.
