Default Re: 100/200 on stars

All right. Now I'm convinced that PokerStars is rigged. I just hit a 300 bet downswing there. Never happened before in 14 years of poker. I'm quitting pokerstars and moving my business to Party (except for the soft 30/60 stud hi/lo games).

i had a 28.5k downer multitabling one time and was floored...not a huge loss in terms of bbs but i stopped and re-evaluated for sure there. took a break to review some [censored] then get back at it...id be FREAKING OUT about my game or whats going on at 50k

I guess maybe because I've had more 50k downswings than I can count. I review like 60% of my losing sessions as a general rule, play wasn't phenomonal but pretty satsified overall.

do you think its possible that your play is responsible for your downswings? all the successfull 1/2 folks i know would [censored] their pants and have to be a faithful user of "oops i crapped my pants" if they lost more than 200 or 250bbs in a short period of time. not literally, but it would be cause for concern for sure. sh*t, schneids wont even MENTION poker if he loses like 6bbs.

i mean, sure, its possible variance alone is causing your multiple 50k and this 170k downswing...how just how likely do you think that is?
