It's just a big statistical anomoly that shows that even a great player can have a downswing in the 600 big bet range.

I don't think it shows that at all.

Trust me, it does if we assume that BK was playing well and that he was a winner in the games.

I think this graph pretty much shoes that (only about the last year or so...from my current db):


It's kinda amazing how during the game it feels so streaky (and it is) but when you get into the bigger picture you can barely notice the blips. I was going to wait til 500k hands to post this but now seems like a decent time.

What does it show?

It shows that even over the sample size of all your play, your results correlate far less diretly to your skill level than people would like to think. People should take a look at the sims GoT posted a while back and extrapolate taking into account the fact that the people running good at the right times will often move up in limits. Then take a look at the disparities in results. The range is pretty stunning.

Nothing? You took a biased sample of your data and you're trying to extrapolate something from it. Josh's analogy earlier in the thread is correct. Calling this a "500whatever bet downswing" is really a misnomer given what else you've told us.
