Default OK 10/20, you win - NC

I'm clearly not a winner in your game. I'll go back to beating the [censored] out of 5/10. I'll be back someday.

There's no shame in dropping down as long as you're making money at some limit. You know you'll be back. You know you'll kill it eventually. Everyone who reads your posts knows this is true. No need to rush. Been there, done that, keep grinding. You're the face guy for all of us who are in a bitter battle with the downside of variance, and its nice to have that sort of symbol.

That's a nasty downswing. Only you know whether it's a bad run or bad play. Good luck in any event.

I'm on a 250BB slide at 3/6 6m, and my game is probably a lot easier than yours.

Bad luck. Build some confidence and try again.

My first 70K I was at 2.5/100. Next 40K was breakeven. No game around with greater swings then shorthanded Fixed Limit Holdem.
