I love it when the newbies start crackin' wise!

Just remember these times when that insane win rush hits you and you suddenly think "I must be a poker god!'

In ancient Rome, when a conquering general was feted by a parade in his honor, a slave would hold a laurel wreath over his head and whisper in his ear "Remember, thou art only human."

We don't have slaves. We have downswings.

I wish I had that link to Homer's great post on swings. It really puts them into perspective if you see the veeeerrrrrry long term.

A 20bb downswing is nothing. You can't win every time you play.

With the new sheriff patrolling these parts, I'm putting the over-under at when this post gets locked at 20 minutes. Anybody want some of this action?

(And before it does -- yes, a 20BB downswing in one hour is totally normal. Did you ever lose $20 in a session at .5/1?)

1 hour, 40 min. I was in a lab meeting.
