well i just like that i can start a poker session in the middle of the afternoon and find this discussion already fully formed, and am able to read it slowly for the first part of my day. it gives me a immediate appreciation for winning poker. which i then try to apply to my session, so as to avoid the infamous 300bb downswing, which i am still skeptical about, much like i am skeptical of the elusive sasquatch and the loch ness monster, or alien abductions, having not yet experienced them myself.

the overwhelming conclusion from every reply is that whatever xx/100 rate player you are, a huge influence on that rate is how often you play at your 'true' level. i thought the discussion might evolve into a quality vs quantity debate (live players say they don't see such downswings) but some want to believe the 300bb downswing is inescapable.
