Default Downswing Pep Rally!

Yeah, I know this is done every week, but, I need to get this out of my system. I am currently experiencing my worst downswing yet at the 215s. I was previously a 19% player over 750 SnGs so I am quite sure this is variance. However, that does not make it any easier.

In the last 66 tournaments i have cashed only 10 times which equates to a whopping 39 buyin drop. Now, I have over 60 more buyins in my BR so I do not think dropping levels is necessary quite yet.

What I would like is some motivation for when I wake up and try again tomorrow afternoon! What are some of your worst downswings that you have come back from? Did your ROI EVER recover? Show some love [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thanks guys.

And this happens when Raptor is in Vegas. Coincidence, I think not!

Your ROI is not supposed to recover. ROI is ROI and downswings are a part of your ROI. It's more likely your new ROI is closer to your true ROI than the old one
