First Notable Downswing - Beat Me Up and Advise Me...

[otnemem]

Just had my first notable downswing in my "determined" semi-pro career. 2.25 hours, 45BB...

Tell me I'm a pussy, and that a 45BB downswing is nothing. Tell me I need to get used to swings like that, and if I can't deal with it, I should find a new hobby.

But after you're done berating me for being such a whiny bitch, let me know a few things:

Are losing sessions common? I'm a pretty well-grounded player. I do have trouble when I start steaming, but I try to keep my emotions in check. For the most part, I play pretty TAG, but need to know how often I can expect to be laying on the floor crying because somehow a 6-10o that called my UTG raise sucked out a straight on a A-7-A flop...

I berated a fish today. But I didn't tell him he was a bad player. I just called him an abomination. But I didn't refer to his card playing ability...

I'm feeling a little loopy.
