I've only played about 3000 hands 1/2 at Absolute and hit, (what is for me), my first significant downswing on Sunday losing about 100/BB in a 5 hr. session. I know that this is a very small sample but I'd like to get some input so I can stop any bad habits before they start. My pre downswing PT stats are VPIP 30.2%, PFR% 18%, AF Agg:3.25%

My reaction to a downswing is to tighten up my starting hands and back off the aggression, especially on the river since I couldn't get anyone to release, until the variance turns back into my favor.

Is this a reasonable strategy? How do others do it? Should I just continue to play the same? Switch tables? Switch sites?
