Default Re: for everyone in a 300+ downswing

[ QUOTE ]
how do you maintain a decent winrate with a 400+ downswing or multiple 300+ ones? those are HUGE losses. i just don't get it, because all these players i thought were solid are annoucing these massive losses.

i don't even think i'm in the top tier of players, but the biggest downswing i've had is 170 BB, and a couple of 100 BB that i didn't even notice. maybe it's a different style of play? maybe some people aren't winning players (esp if downswing is over a lot of hands)? i don't get it...

Are you playing NL or Limit? It is EXTREMELY easy to lose 100BB in a day, an hour, or even 1 hand playing NL. You should be buying into a NL ring game with 100BB, and that buy-in can be gone in one bad beat.
