Just posting that you have X Roi over 400 games isnt enough info for people to tell you if your a winning player or not. Id say your better than -10% cause you ran at 19% for 1K but you know what happens when you assume.

take your downswing like a man. review hands, post hands, have someone look at hhs. quit crying. i can guarantee that i am running worse than you are right now, yet you don't see me making posts like this.

have a nice day

Yes, it is possible for a wnning player to have a 40-buy in downswing, but it definitely isn't normal variance.

All poker results in any short term discussion have a lot to do with luck, and it is possible you're playing well and just getting extremely unlucky. But it's a lot more likely that you play worse now than you did when you were winning. Take time between sets and review your HHs with SnGPT, and post troublesome hands here. Take breaks when you feel yourself starting to get upset. If you keep losing, move down.

Doesn't make you "not good", just goes to show what a bad sample 400 or even 1000 sngs is.

i'm at 60% ROI over my last 100 55's...quite frankly, i couldn't imagine -10% over 100, let alone 400...

Well said.

You must have done a bunch of sucking out yourself to get 19% at $55 so take yours.

"i'm at 60% ROI over my last 100 55's...quite frankly, i couldn't imagine -10% over 100, let alone 400.."

Well try to recognize that fact that it's easier to go -10% ROI over 100 than +60%.
