Default What\'s worse: Long breakeven streak but never -10 buyins or -50 buyins

Long (2+ months) breakeven streak, but you were never down more than -10 buyins

or

-50 buyins in 7 days

And why do you think that?

At least with option 1 you get rakeback.

-50 buyins over 7 days is worse, I think...my reason is because that's what I'm going through (-45 BI's over more like 14 days) and it sucks balls.

However, I'm sure 2 mos. of breaking even would suck as well (though at least breaking even you'd get the profit of your RB).

I'll take the negative fifty buy ins. Over the next seven weeks,I expect to make more than 50 buy ins.

after experiencing being breakeven for over a month, it is definately the first option. you start to question your game, go on lifetilt, and probably drop to a lower buyin.

50 buyins in a week is pretty easy to clear out of your system compared to that

STFU until something bad actually happens to you, which I hope it doesn't.

Sorry. That wasn't meant to be as bad as it sounds. I just had one of those nights last night where I was thinking "This is the worst thing that could ever happen... etc. etc." and then realized there were other ways the situation easily could have turned out that were about 100 times worse. I was trying to share that perspective but it came out sounding like more of a personal attack, so I'm sorry for that.
