Default Re: Worst Downswing of my short poker career...Is this typical?

imho, the SS crowd worries too much about VPIP, WTSD, etc. Winning poker is more about putting opponent's on ranges, determining if their their bet on the board (given their pf bet) makes sense, recognizing when they're betting a draw (as opposed to a made hand), and taking on notes to determine which opponents a) call to the river with anything, b) call flop bets but fold the turn, c) call the turn everytime but give up on the river, or d) fold to a flop bet most times. You can have a 50 VPIP and be a winner if you can figure out your opponents (ok, maybe an exagerration - then again maybe not).

I did the SS thing forever. It was as exciting as watching paint dry but $$ were good. And I never paid much attention to my PT stats (but I paid attention to those of my opponents).

End of my great speech. Now back to your regular programming . . .
