If you're not playing $3.4's or 10nl, I'm not even going to consider that a downswing. I lose more than that in 1 bad set.

Losing less than $150 = very dissapointing downswing. Please post a graph in bbs in the future so that we can atleast be tricked into thinking this post is worthwhile.

Total loss = -160
Stakes are in my OP:

Actually I lost more in cash games but then recovered some in SnGs.

Stakes? NL10 and $2.75 + $5.5 super turbo 6-max SnGs.

So discounting the winnings in SnG the loss is about 20 buyins at NL10.

To finish my post in some light mood, here are some Cioran-isms. :


[ QUOTE ]

There are people who are destined to taste only the poison in things, for whom any surprise is a painful surprise and any experience a new occasion for torture. If someone were to say to me that such suffering has subjective reasons, related to the individual's particular makeup, I would then ask ; Is there an objective criterion for evaluating suffering? Who can say with precision that my neighbor suffers more than I do or that Jesus suffered more than all of us? There is no objective standard because suffering cannot be measured according to the external stimulation or local irritation of the organism, but only as it is felt and recorded in consciousness. Alas, from this point of view, any hierarchy is out of the question. Each person remains with his own suffering, which he believes absolute and unlimited. How much would we diminish our personal suffering if we were to compare it to all the world's suffering until now, to the most horrifying agonies and the most complicated tortures [...]



Because in this organically insufficient and fragmentary world, the individual is set to live fully, wishing to make of his own existence an absolute. Each subjective existence is absolute to itself. For this reason each man lives as if he were the centre of the universe or the centre of history. Then how could his suffering fail to be absolute? I cannot understand another's suffering in order to diminish my own. Comparisons in such cases are irrelevant, because suffering is an interior state, in which nothing external can help.

You may be too clever for you own good... Also, poker gets better as you move up. Why are you not playing 25?

I've lost more than your bankroll in a period of hours before.
