im doing this more, especially since if you drop down it will be 4 times as hard to make it back to the black than if you move up.

but dont try this at home kids.

I suppose its a silly thing to reply to but moving up in limits to get back to positive for the day is a generic addicted gambler thing to do right? You aren't suggesting that that is actually a good idea right?

dont we all... running bad when moving up to make up for a bad day has been the cruelest thing poker has done "to me"

I play more hands than usual to snap out of the downswing quicker (in terms of time).

i personally like moving down to NL25 to vent some anger. raising every single hand preflop, talking some smack in the chat, etc.

long term downswings are a different story however...
