Though your first post is awesome...this in particular:

And Hey Chez! Loved your post. I have been thinking exactly this over the last 2 months. I have come to the conclusion that how we play when running bad is a HUGE factor in our overall WR. I play great when getting good/fair cards, but a sustained run of poor cards (and I mean 20,000+ hands horrible) and I can definitely see my game crumbling a little. Precisely how much this is worth in terms of BB/100 I cannot tell yet but I do believe it is very significant. I seem to reach a point after a long long bad run where it gets much easier for me to get pissed off I am beginning to think I should take some coaching on this aspect of my game as over the course of a year I am getting 2-3 bad months, pretty average I guess but that could be 20% of the time playing as much as 1-2BB/100 less well, maybe worse (?).

I hear you say) there is no way we're going to win back 50BB in one hand, but in trying to do so, we turn into just the kind of LAGGY spewtard we love to play against.

Hi Naphand, good to see you again.
Sure we can try to not play worse when running bad and its probablt what costs us the most but my point was we should seriously consider changing tables anyway.
That's because everyone else is like us, they also play better than their average when running good and if we're running bad then they're running good (particularly against us). Therefore if we've been running bad for a while we profit by simply changing to an otherwise equal table.
