IT has happened to me

40 buy in downswing.

Lost money over last 750 games.

This qualifies as "it" in my books.

40 in a row? If so, you have the new record at the 11s/22s, pm Pergesu to get the trophy.

Review your hands. Send them to posters you respect to review. Play some PL Omaha/8 - not a joke.

No, not 40 in a row, just a 40 downswing which is pretty bad in itself.

26 in a row is my record, real proud of that one.

Wrong...when I started playing again, I lost my first four as well, extending it to 42.

NOBODY WILL EVER CHALLENGE ME

Ok, I was wro...something. Anyway, you get to keep the trophy but get the "L" glued back on top. I hope you learned your lesson BTW. Did throwing it against the wall help at all? No. It just broke your trophy and now you have to fix it.

Playing different games actually worked a little. I decided to clear some bonuses to alleviate some of the pressure from my SNG downswing. Obviously to clear the bonuses I had to play Limit and NL cash games. Quite frankly the NL games were exhilarating. For some reason raising $30 seemed like a lot of money compared to playing a $20 or $30 SnG, in fact my heart raced during a few hands (which never happens in STTs anymore.) And the limit games were kind of fun. It allowed me to chase some draws I normally wouldn't. Oh and when I was done clearing the bonuses (for cool gifts) I played some $10 O8 SnGs which are a blast. Give it a try, if it doesn't work the single tables will be waiting.

Feh... I've dropped 40 buy-ins before. It's not that big a deal if you're properly bankrolled and not afraid to drop down if need be.

Yeah, no big deal really, I agree, still sucks a bit though.

Frustrating man...I'm sorry. Drop down and just try to have fun and win. You'll be back to your BI level in no time and this will be but a distant memory. Also have someone who plays party 22s, or whatever you play, go over your HHs.
