Default Coming up hard and fast on 400 BB\'s

Where do you sign for the 400BB club? Do I get a Tshirt?

It's been a long time too handwise. maybe 60k hands long. I keep taking 5 steps up and ten steps back. It seems like every decision I make backfires. Everyone gets there or is there and I almost never do and when I do nobody has a hand to pay me off with.

I have almost three years of winning poker under my belt so I know I can do it. I start every session thinking this is the one I finally break out.

I need to hear some success stories. Somebody tell me about their extended downswing and how you broke out of it and how good it felt and what a tear you went on etc, etc...

Thanks
Jim

i'm on about a 300bb downswing of my own, and i've been break-even for about the past 50k hands or so... it feels like it's never going to end...
