Re: I was ruined by a downswing and advice.

Perhaps the player not in the hand just wanted to push your button so you would bleed off more chips?

Re: SLAP vs TAG
If you feel comfortable as a SLAP, then work on being a better one. Find those places where you can make a small change that saves or makes you one BB. Then look for another one.
