Learning how to deal with losing is crucial in being a good SNG player. I had a 60 buyin downswing and it really did effect my game. I can't say with my hand on my heart that if it happened to me again it wouldn't effect me but i really do think i would deal with it a lot better. If i get a 10 game downswing now, it hurts, but if i go through the HH's and find out i really didnt do anything that wrong, then i'll stay confident in my game and wont make unnecessary adjustments. Confidence in knowing you are playing a "winning" game is key during the downswings.

Better still, get someone ELSE to check your hand histories. During a downswing you subconsciously want to believe you are doing nothing wrong and it's all down to bad luck, and after analyzing your own HH's you may convince yourself of that. Find someone who's poker skills you trust and have them take a look. You may not get the answers you want, but the tough lessons will make you a better player.
