Default My downswing is officially over!

The nasty downswing I was experiencing a week ago is finally over after today's session.

It was 470 SNGs from the start of the dip until I finally pulled out of it. The bottom of the barrel was actually right when I posted about my 20/21 losing streak, which put me down $5118 (~47 buyins) from my peak.

Here's the graph of my profit since switching exclusively to the 109s


Anyway, I just want to remind everyone who is running bad right now (and there seem to be a lot of us [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] ) that it will end no matter how bad it seems right now. Keep playing and you will pull through it and when you do you will fell better about your game than you ever did before.

Congrats. Pulling out of a downswing is great for short-term and long-term confidence.

The dip starts about a week into July but I really didn't play a whole lot that month (only 155 SNGs) since I always seemed to be out of town or something.

The 2nd half of the graph is from this month, I bottomed out last Friday.
