perhaps. it was probably more out of context than anything else because i had been running so freaking good for this month and then BAM in one day there is a nasty downstreak that had nothing to do with the way i played the game.

It is quite possible to drop a few buyins even when running good. And sometimes, there's nothing you can do about it. Even in this thread, there are some pretty sick downswings. I know it's not nice to think about it, since I'm guessing we both have bankrolls can't take that kind of crap. I know how you feel though. Sometimes I don't lose that much, but I'm like "This game is [censored] stupid." You know continuation bets don't work forcing you to nit it up and other incredibly random crap happens. I suppose it sucks at 5 nl though since a buyin is 250 bb. But I'm just warning you, since variance will hit everyone. So just focus on playing goot and posting hands for questions. ;P
P.S. when would you move up if things work out?

in a freaking heartbeat. my bankroll has topped out at 65 for the last 5 months. anytime i get near $65, "variance" comes in and takes it all.
twice on the same table against the SAME idiot. im tilting so hard that i had to quit right after this hand not to break something and autopush every hand.
