Hi all,
A few days ago I popped out a whiny post about losing half my bankroll with a downswing of 23 buy ins. I also said it was funny how my next closest downswing over 2k SNGs was half that.
So my bankroll sat at 500, and I continued to play yesterday and today.
Right now it is sitting at 180 dollars, the lowest by far my online roll has been in 3 months.
My downswing is now at 38 buy ins. The second time my KK ran up into AA in the first level this morning was the first time I shouted out loud, "This is rigged!" I have calmed down and don't really hold that belief, but I almost feel as if I have been the most unlucky player on party servers over a 4 day stretch.
Anyways.... the most dissapointing thing about all this, is that I assumed a 50x time buy in bankroll for a winning player would virtually guarantee never having to reload. Having to actually take money out of my bank account, right as the shopping season for me is starting.... really, really sucks.
As I am posting this, this just happened. I kid you not.

This is the first time probably in a year that I have felt broken by poker. Constructive point of this post.... no matter how much you think you can beat a game, no bankroll is protected. My ROI over the past 100 buy ins is probably that of which someone who didn't know the rules of poker would get.
