Downswing Pep Rally!

[WebGuySteve]

Yeah, I know this is done every week, but, I need to get this out of my system. I am currently experiencing my worst downswing yet at the 215s. I was previously a 19% player over 750 SnGs so I am quite sure this is variance. However, that does not make it any easier.

In the last 66 tournaments i have cashed only 10 times which equates to a whopping 39 buyin drop. Now, I have over 60 more buyins in my BR so I do not think dropping levels is necessary quite yet.

What I would like is some motivation for when I wake up and try again tomorrow afternoon! What are some of your worst downswings that you have come back from? Did your ROI EVER recover? Show some love [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thanks guys.

And this happens when Raptor is in Vegas. Coincidence, I think not!

Non Sequitur Alert = "Raptor in Vegas" does not mean NORAPTORIN$215's....I played this AM with Raptor during the interregnum (4:00AM - 8:00AM) that defines our mutual state of consciousness....He had, just then, finished a session with some slot machines that he feels are "speaking" to him and I, in my infinite capacity to play poorly, was just starting a 5 buyin downswing....

KipperBoob is obviously referring to the glaring absence of one JohnnyBeef with this $10.00 word. That, or the recent lack of Slacker presence at the tables (truly a force), but on haiatus due to lack of funds....

As for the slots "speaking" to Raptor, I have heard those voices and can guarantee that Raptor can't understand a word as they don't use language like WTF? Ship it! Batches! Bwhaahaa and so forth.

Rock Vegas Raptor! Rock the interregnum Skipper! Nobody else is awake at that hour anyway. MooHaaHaa.

Your ROI is not supposed to recover. ROI is ROI and downswings are a part of your ROI. It's more likely your new ROI is closer to your true ROI than the old one

Good point.

A fun weekend a few months ago when I was playing the $22s.

[WebGuySteve]

yuuuuuck, that's a bad one! That's the motivation I wanted [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[Apathy]

Hmmmm, probably because fish like me haven't been feeding Evetsyugbew chips on all four of your tables while they are on vacation.

fear not! I'll be back in a week [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
