Default Variance or Did I just start Sucking??

Help please!! [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I've been playing online for 1 year (150K hands). My curve below shows a very steady climb with reasonable variance up UNTIL THIS WEEK. My last 3K hands have dropped my BR from $8K to $7K. I typically play $3/$6 Limit.

What's going on? I see 3 possible explanation please let the first year player know what you think....

A) A 200BB downswing in 3k hands is within reasonable variance

B) Your 150K hands aren't enough to prove you are a winning player and you really might not be a winning player

C) This week all the College kids had finals and went home for break so no fish in the pond.

D) Something else


Please help with your opinion, I'm freaking out here. Thx.

Maybe you should stop trying to blame everybody else and blame the real person causing this - yourself

E) I forgot I was playing Limit. Standard downswing.

That was the point of Option B by the way. So I'll put you down for B.

Damn, I thought this post said: "My last 3 hands have dropped my bankroll from 8k-7k...I normally play $3/$6 limit." That woulda made a good thread. As played = standard.
