300BB downswings are not normal. PERIOD!

You do realize that your position is completely contradicted by math, right?

This is just plain wrong! The math dictates that a fraction of winning players will experience such downswings, not that it is to be expected!

Even if you're right, which I don't think you are but I also don't really care, how would the math say that? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I honestly can't think of a statistical test that could yield the conclusion you've formed. Is there some predetermined number of hands each player plays in their lifetime? Are poker hands not independent? I just don't see how you came up with what you're saying.
