Re: Downswing
Excellent post.

I think the best thing that happens to my poker game is going through a downswing.

I think this is a very good point. Personally, I become over confident and think I know more than I do or that people should respect my bets more. Recently, I ran very hot. I then thought I'm a good player, I can play more hands. I changed what got me there and came to a huge crash. At first I thought it was fate and bad beats. But it wasn't. I was playing (bad) hands OOP, not respecting raises (I'm better than them...), etc.
Basically, the downswing I went through (am still somewhat in) was very humbling. Remember to continue to play strong poker, do what got you there.
