Default Re: Explanation please

it actually makes perfect sense when your won $ @ showdown is low...

say you enter 5 pots and put 2BB in each and lose all of them = -10BB

enter 5 pots still putting 2BB in each, but this time you win a 8BB pot = 0

winning one pot has taken you from being -10BB to being even...but as a tight player you don't win many pots, but you still enter some and you lose more pots than you win, but on a losing streak we aren't winning that pot often so the gap grows...

good luck with the downswing...
