Re: Playing forever without a downswing? Is it possible?
I think this is a funny discussion.
Downswings should be welcome. They are what allow upswings.
Its like when people say in deep stack poker that they are always getting it in 90% ahead. Well, you give up an aweful lot of value not getting it in when your only 55% ahead in a cash game.
You should be pushing chips in when you are a favorite, and you have to understand that 45% of the time you will lose your 55/45, and its aweful easy to lose 9 in a row where your 55% to win. But you should still do it, and be happy that there is much variance in poker, as there are swings where you will win 11 in a row being ahead 55% to win, and they can only come as a result of someone elses downswing.
