Uggggggggggggggggggh it's like I can't win anymore JESUS [censored] CHRIST.

What was everybodys biggest downswing (buyins) and over how many hands? Was it related more to playing awful and tilting, natural variance, a lot of leaks, etc?

Basically I'm feeling like crap right now, I've only made a few plays that I really regret. Usually when I drop a bunch of money I can point to a bunch of hands I misplayed and leaks in my game and then just improve and it seemed like it worked. But the first three days of this month on UB have been sick. Every time I get AA / top pair / any overpair I have to fold it because the board gets really ugly and / or somebody shows a lot of aggression. It's just sick, never seen anything like it in my life. I just feel completely helpless and it feels like everybody is just pushing me around but if I ever take a stand I got shown the best hand every time. I've had so many tough decisions and marginal plays the past three days and I feel like I'm making the correct play usually but it's just not working out at all. I definitely have leaks in my game, but I think I'm playing pretty good overall, could be wrong though. Anybody here play 400nl/600nl on UB regularly? PM me.

Words of encouragement / advice anybody (yes I'm an emotional wreck right now)?

Like 27-28 buyins or something... I couldn't remember any tilt whatsoever up until that point, then I started tilting a little bit after that etc. I dunno, if I was a better player then I'd probably not drop so many buyins but it really felt like mostly variance and I couldn't find many things I did wrong. I think it was a lot of small pots etc that I just couldn't figure out I was playing badly.

I did become ALOT better player after that downswing though

[kotkis]

I've had three over 10 buy-in downswings since July, of which two were over 15 and the biggest almost 20 buy-ins. All of them included tilting.
