Back of the line for you, chump. -175 BBs over the last week.

I am around -150BB. My current downswing has picked right up where the one I was on left off before I went away for three weeks. Still can't win with a set.

Anyway, I hope things turn around for you soon; I am sure it will.

I came to within two big bets of moving up to 5/10 for the OIC. Then I dropped about 28, so now I'm 30 away. Do I win?

Not close. I got to 5/10, fell all the way back to .5/1, got to 3/6, ran freakin' awesome, and I'll be back at .5/1 later this week. Goooooooooo me!

Why do you say swings don't take that long? I've heard that even pros have a losing month once in a while.

When a (good) pro has a losing month, it's usually the result of several swings; he might start the month off with a -200 BB downswing, rebound with a +250 upswing, and end it off with another -100 mini-downswing. There are obviously cases of downswings which last for hundreds or perhaps even thousands of game hours, but those are relatively rare for a good player.
