Fast Large Downswing

[z80x86]

I know they happen over time. I just thought that was a pretty damn short time frame! Especially for full.

I remember having a tough time dealing with my first 100 BB downswing. It only took about an hour. They come and go, just don't convince yourself to start playing differently. That will only turn it into closer to a 200 BB downswing.

What about a 4k hand downswing? Just when I start to get something going, horrible beats come back to back to drop me down again. This is an emotional roller coaster. I can't win anything. Watching my winrate dropping, makes me really depressed. I know about thinking long run etc, but it's been 4 freaking thousand hands. It seems like forever when I used to win pots and not getting rivered.

When I have downswings on Party, they are often very quick for some reason such as -200BB in about 2500 hands. But that is followed later by a +300BB upswing in about the same span.

I once was quite concerned with these seemingly big swings, both from a bankroll standpoint and evaluation of my play. But once they are plotted on a chart over 100,000 hands, they don't look so big; especially since the chart steadily increases in $ over time.
