I used to get affected by downswings alot more. I've really lightened up about it. The reason this last downswing is so hard is because my primary source of income, pacific poker, is changing rapidly.

I'm just smart. I'm not a genuis, but if you just plain smart then you are successful at most anything you do. It has a lot of numbers and logic, which are my strong suits. Most of my co-workers are just rich spoiled kids, how hard can it be to outperform them.

I've only ever actually been in one situation where I wasn't at the top of the curve, and that was in genuis high school.
