I firmly believe that downswings happen because of the player, not the cards... Learn to fold in tight marginal situations.. Alot of players i notice when complaining about badbeats and downswings and whatnot, they will play badly until they start getting lucky again, and then their game will pick up from there.. because they are happy again.

If you face a couple beats in a night stop, go out to the bar, get laid, and go back to playing poker.. Its the player that creates bad runs, not the cards... believe me.

You could be the best player in the world and you will certainly have a downswing that is due to nothing more than not getting profitable situations. Saying that downswings are due to nothing more than bad play shows a huge lack of understanding of basic poker mathematics.
