Default Tougher Games... 6 week losing streak Normal?

I have a friend who has been beating Small Stakes NL for about 2.5 years.

For the last half of 2006 he was beating UB NL200 games for about 5-6 BB/100 and was successfully venturing into some 400NL.

Anyways he's on a 6ish week losing streak now & I was wondering if this could be normal or what to tell him.
I considered him a better player than myself & I've never gone on a losing streak anything like this (yet).

He's been playing NL100 & still losing/breaking even & winning modestly at NL50 the last couple weeks.

I think he's on mega-mondo-tilt and not playing as well as he thinks he is but I dunno what to tell him.

Can the increase in difficulty of the games explain this or is he just running horrible/tilting simultaneously? Are 6-week losing streaks normally possible (for a winning plyaer)6-tabling 20-30 hours a week?

I want to help my friend figure out what's wrong/build up his confidence a little.

Maybe he needs to switch off of UB or something?

Tell him to move up so he can make back his losses.

He has never posted on 2p2.

Why do you guys bother to make stupid and/or useless posts? Does your e-P33n enlarge with every single increment of your 2p2 post count? Congratulations on your post count.

If anyone has any real advice I'd love to read it.

He's probably tilting and playing badly, I'd just tell him, or watch his tables while he plays and try to offer some advice. I mean you can run bad, but 6 weeks seems like bad play/tilt/etc to me.

I think you missed the implication OP. What he meant to say was tell your <u>"FRIEND"</u> to stop posting on 2p2
