You have no idea how many massive losing streaks I am owed. I honestly think I run well in the 99th percentile.

So, you're my positive counter-part...


Actually no, it's not that bad for me, I'd estimate I'm in the bottom third tough.

Default for everyone in a 300+ downswing

how do you maintain a decent winrate with a 400+ downswing or multiple 300+ ones? those are HUGE losses. i just don't get it, because all these players i thought were solid are annoucing these massive losses.

i don't even think i'm in the top tier of players, but the biggest downswing i've had is 170 BB, and a couple of 100 BB that i didn't even notice. maybe it's a different style of play? maybe some people aren't winning players (esp if downswing is over a lot of hands)? i don't get it...
