Re: possible for winning player to become permanently losing?
I had the same thing happen. I was crushing poker from about January to August. My biggest month earned $21k mostly from the NL400 game. Then I took a month off to travel and play part time and only made about $5k. When I got home I was ready to hit the tables full time again, but I started off with about 30k hands of really ugly coolers and bad beats, and after that NOTHING would work for me any more.
I put my game on autopilot and broke even for another 70k hands or so, at which point I started reviewing all my sessions with a friend to try and find out wtf was going on. Basically, after all the frustrations of the coolers and band beats, I had just put my game on autopilot. I was cbetting every flop, and check folding the turn way too often. I reviewed all my sessions and saw myself losing big pots from the small blind over and over again. I had opened up huge leaks in my game in pots that didn't go to showdown. It's been about 2 months and I finally feel at this point that I've fixed the major problems and think I'm back on track. If you're not doing it already, I would recommend going through poker tracker after each session to review all the big losing hands you played, and pay particular attention to your position in those hands.

Yes, permatilt happens, failing to adjust happens, game deterioration because you have no confidence anymore happens. Turning things around also happens. Really long break even stretches happen. Lots of things happen is the main bulletin point here. [/ QUOTE ] well said

[ QUOTE ] 1.8ptbb/100 isnt exactly crushing a game. [/ QUOTE ] 1.8 PTBB/100? That's pretty decent at 5/10 NL, especially lately. [/ QUOTE ] The point is, sooner or later, you will have really really REALLY REALLY long losing/break-even stretches with such a small edge, even if you are beating the game.
