Used SNG's on Pokerroom to build $20 into $490 over about 3 months of playing durring free time. Lost in all in two days because of variance. Its actually kind of comforting to read about someone else going through it. [/ QUOTE ] you were playing to high for your bankroll or just really suck

Re: Downswings
Doesn't anyone on this forum lose due to bad play??
It seems that everyone here assumes they are a good player when they're winning, yet any sort of downswing is attributed variance and not poor play. Seems kinda suspect to me...

Re: Downswings
I realized before I even got here that there will always be other people who have experienced worse. That does not, however, answer my question about how long downswings can last.
If you read my post carefully, you'll see that I'm not looking for sympathy. Hell, I know this is the last place on earth to look for sympathy. Even the players who beat me would have more sympathy. I am here looking for advice and a few answers, as well as a few words of encouragement (which I was happy to see. Thanks to those who took the time there. MUCH appreciated.). My previous post where I posted my sample size was another case of looking for answers. I didn't show up here with a chip on my shoulder or even the vaguest idea that I was enlightened. I came as a student. Thanks for your thoughts as well. I appreciate them all.

Just wondering if this is an indication of one of those bad runs I hear about. I'm just trying to learn because, unlike everyone here, I wasn't born knowing this stuff. Thanks for your contribution to the thread.

Re: Downswings
I'm currenty on a 25 buyin downswing including a number of 6-12 OOTM streaks. This is not at all out of the ordinary. In fact people would bitch me out for complaining about my streak. The point nobody can really tell you how long a bad steak lasts. If it means anything I'm pretty sure there are people that are consistant winners that have had 500 sng steaks where they lose money. Honastly what your talking about here is notthing.

Those are the things I'm hoping to figure out with the help of the constructive posters on this forum. Especially the guy who said, 'Awwwww' because that helped me learn.
