Default Re: down 40 buyins and climbing

I would tend to agree.

What I would stand by is that winrate calculations are very tenous at best and not worth focussing on. The idea that you can play 10-20k hands, divide the number you won by the number of hands and say that is how much you will win in the future is very, very dangerous thinking. Like a lot of maths bandied around in Poker its engagingly simplistic and reassurring, but also doesn't take into account of a lot of the caveats and underpinnings of what you are statistically doing.
