Downswongs are an OPPORTUNITY time to improve your game and take a more detailed look @ various areas you wouldn't normally do. Although the results won't show much really from any small changes you make until you run better -you'll come out a better player.

Great way to look at it. I know that after running bad for about 10k hands I started posting more hands and really thinking about my game, and I feel I've improved quite a bit. So I guess my downswing is +EV in the long run.

That's a great perspective. I've been going over a lot of hands in pokertracker and have started to go over the biggest wins and losses each session in pokertracker, and have been rewatching some cardrunners videos that I have. I also just started to go over hands in pokerstove which will definitely help me and I need to be more critical of my play in general. So since knowing what a typical downswing "doesn't matter", besides posting on here what do all of u do to improve your game?
