help! downswing rant...

Last 9k hands has a pretty 170BB downswing in it...

The amount of times that I have been sucked out on the turn and river seems absolutely extraordinary. I don't know what to do. All my stats look fine and I don't think I'm playing badly. I reread SSHE a few days ago. I have posted some hands that confused me. I 6-table. I don't have any time problems thinking through decisions. I write down notes when I play. I use GT+ and PT. I have a better understanding of preflop theory. I like fruit punch flavored drinks.

Seriously though, it sucks. I'm down to 1400 in my bankroll after cashing out some... when should I make the move back down to 1/2? Anything else I can do to play/feel better? Ugh.

Cooooome on. 9k hands. Take a break. Play 2/4. Move down if you're not confident. Improve your game. Read and post damn it.

What, I can't post on 2+2 for a little love?

Actually... I do seriously want to know for bankroll considerations when it is a good idea to move back down.

I'd move down if you fall below 250 BB ($1000) Good luck.

strangely enough, the only table I won at today was one you were playing at (unless there's another guy with that sn). maybe i should listen to your wisdom...

Let's commiserate together duder. After a 50BB upswing last night after a ~300BB downswing replete with 50BB of tilt losses, I now celebrated clearing the party bonus by getting a 20.2% W$WSF for the last 600 hands and not even break-even on the clear.

it's so weird.. it's really hard to win in games when someone calls without top pair and hits their pair or runner runner flush time after time.. why can't they just fold when they have nothing on the flop !! : (

Bad beat posts suck.
