Default Downswings

90% here (myself included) post about a downswing at some point. I just had a 200 BB upswing. I figured since it has about as much to do with skill as a downswing I'd ask all the usual questions:

1) How long can this last?
2) Is it possible to maintaing a 25 BB/100 win rate?
3) I was out of whiskey and drinking vodka tonight. Is it possible whiskey's bad luck?

Look at this good beat:

Hero raises K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG.
TAG Button 3-bets.
BB calls. Hero calls.
Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Check, Check, Bet, fold, call.
Turn: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Check, Bet, Call
River: A
AA no good.

I am a lucky fish.

Good night.

For a long damn time. I had an upswing last me 3 months. It was just a nice gentle boost.

Depends on how quickly you can drink.

Whiskey's luck neutral. Scotch is +LV.

Please get an avatar. Your posts don't stand out enough.

edit: I'll pick one out for you if you're too lazy. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I kind of like not having an avatar, I feel it makes my posts stand out somewhat here (since most here that post frequently have them). I'll look around for a good one though.

I had one that was a little to "sexual" for some ppl, and Matt asked that I get rid of it.

So I just reformated one that wouldnt get deleted and made it my own. Not really, but kind of. If El wants me to delete it I will, damn, I'll need to get another avatar soon.

Oh well, It works for now.
