Wait, you play $400 and $200 nl and a 1.25-2.5 buyin downswing is cause for a break?

Not to belittle your loss (sorry [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]!), I'm just wondering.

Vava,

"only hand really bad was 99."

Just in case I wasn't clear, I disagree w/ that and think they were all played quite poorly.

Compared to the 99 hand the others look world class.

You should expect a whole lot of much bigger downswings playing like that. Woah.
