I started playing two years ago, and was a winning player from the get go. My largest downswing was 150BB, and I had no idea how difficult it would be to endure a truly awful downswing. I'm now in the midst of a 25K hand, 300BB downswing. I've looked at my game and changed a number of things. Last night, I made some superb table selections, and played 750 hands of good poker, losing 30BB. I went to bed pleased with my performance, but still frustrated at the loss. I will continue to work on the weak areas and accept the variance, but it is not easy.

All experienced players can relate and at least you've got the right attitude. Don't lose hope in the "correct thinking".
