My question is: Where are all the huge upswings everyone keeps talking about?

Ok, sure I had one like 10,000 hands ago....

Gimme more!

your insane upswing is taking place on my party account atm. 5.5BB/100 over 5k hands. seriously though, youll pull through and ill go on the -3BB/100 3k hand swing which is inevitable.

It sucks like no other.

In cash games, I am running around even(like 3K) after a 200BB downswing(close to 8K).

I am winning with sets about 50% of the time.
AA and KK get cracked or win the blinds.

It sucks, but it will change. It always has.

yayayaya me too!

moved up to the $109s. after 15 break even or so tourneys, i monied in 1 of the next 13. stepped down to the $55s last night and busted in all of them.

only been playing for a year or so and this is by far my worst streak.

thanks for giving me an excuse to make a whine post [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I would like to participate in this. Last month was my first full month at 5/10 LHE. I made a ton of money, I got current on bills. I helped out a friend. I bought my daughter some nice clothes for the summer. Life was good.

This month I am up about $300.... over 16,000 hands. Thats right, I am negative for the month in ring games. I have serious doubts as to whether or not I am a winning player.

I am thinking of taking a week off and starting over playing $25 PLO8, just to clear my mind.

anyway blah,, blah , blah...Variance blah, blah, blah...confidence intervals blah, blah, blah... work on your game blah, blah, blah, blah.

One more thing, the next time I see some JAckass post the "Is 8BB/100 sustainable?" post, I think I am going to make the time to hunt him down.
