Default Re: just want to say

You can run bad and run bad for a long time. Last month, I went on my biggest downswing in a year after turning pro: -330BB over 9k hands. This was then followed by a 277+BB upswing over the next 10k hands, quickly followed by -287BB downswing over the next 3k hands, followed by a +235BB upswing over the next 5k hands. So I actually finished the month down -110BB after 27k hands, my first losing month ever. When you're running bad, you're running bad. And the experience is beyond words. This was all while playing 5/10 6-max & full, and 10/20 6-max.

Now thankfully I'm out of the abyss and things are running smooth again (as smooth as they can run in poker). But damn did July sux.

*Fixed the month to read correctly as July.
