Re: HSNL downswings: is - 40bi the new -20bi ??
[ QUOTE ]
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say if you are having a -40bi downswing you are clearly not in the right game (this could be due to tilt/your style of play/the line up/your relative position, any number of things) and don't have "the best of it".

This really isn't true. I ran 6bb/100 for last year at 25/50, but during that time I had downswings of 200 and 300k respectively (some from playing shorthanded at those ub games that were pretty tough and prob -ev for me at 50/100; but a lot of it was in 25/50).
The poster who said you are playing your D game more over the last stretch than your A game is more spot on. Also you experience worse game selection because you just want to play all the time to make your money back, while the best games may not be available and you just jump in blind. Heads up can really accelerate a downswing as well. 25 buy ins, while it sucks, isnt too awful. Taking time away from poker entirely helps a lot.
