I would guess he is playing too much right now chasing Elite-status, and his ROI is suffering from it.

I would guess he had a huge downswing playing the $1ks and is having trouble making it back.

Itīs probably a combination of both.

Look at his sharkscope graph it is primarily that he had a big downswing at the $1ks. Do you see that giant quick downwards spike?

I was a little unclear. By "ROI" I meant long-term ROI. I am suggesting that he has breaking even over 4000 STTs because 1) his long-term ROI for those games were lower than they would have been if he wasnīt focusing so much on Elite-status, and 2) because he has been unlucky during those STTs.

I have noticed his historical ROI for (most of) the non-$1100s has dropped significantly during these 4000 STTs, so it is far from only the $1100sī fault.

If that downswing occured last year, I agree it is the biggest reason why he has been on such a long break-even stretch.

But even then I think his expected ROI during the following games was lower than it would have been if he wasnīt focusing so much on Elite-status. With the same amount of luck and better play, the break-even stretch would thus have been shorter.

That downswing then long breakeven stretch is brutal. I feel great pity and sorrow for you.

wow, this is great bigjoe, desdia is just a bitter player who i run off the smaller sit n gos sometimes for fun, i have him labeled fishy who will go nuts postflop so be patient for an easy stacking. He is jealous that you play for a living and he cant beat the small games, dont let his donking get to you.
