In general the reason I made the post was to find out ways people deal with downswings and just start up a discution which I guess I did.

I think you need to stop thinking in these terms. If you are adequately bankrolled and you are a winning player, there is nothing to deal with. For example, if your bankroll is 100 buy-ins and you lose 20 buy-ins nothing has really changed. You still have a solid bankroll and you are a winning player. That is a pretty good combination. So what exactly is the problem?

Instead of thinking, "oh my god what am I going to do" your thoughts should be "what mistakes have I made and how can I get better". A losing streak is simply an opportunity to reflect on your game and improve your play (you should be doing this all the time).
