Re: How do you guys go on such insane downswings?
[ QUOTE ]
Many of the guys who go on big downswings don't play as well as they think and tilt really hard to boot.
Others play great and maximize their EV in every hand, pushing very thin edges that result in a high-variance, high earn style. When these guys run bad, they lose a lot more than someone who plays a less high-variance style, but in the long run they earn more.

I think you just perfectly summed it up. I played 3-handed versus two good aggressive opponents where the decisions always felt marginal and the swings were big even if I had a small edge. One of them then ran bad, followed by semi-tilting and it was easy to see how even semi-tilting made his -EV tremendous.
