Default Re: Stepping down and admitting defeat

I´m doing the same thing. I used to play 30/60 but decided to move down to 10/20 after a 200BB downswing.

For me it was a combination of the monetary loss and the realisation that I have still got a lot to learn. The downswing wasn´t variance, it was plain old bad play.

Default Re: Stepping down and admitting defeat

to continue your military metaphor...

You are not admitting defeat.

You are conceding your position is weak and you are executing a tactical withdrawl into a better defensive position from which to attack.

At the proper time, you will continue your havoc of destruction. In the meantime, refit and regroup. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's only defeat if in your ignorance to take a stand, you get surrounded, cut off, and starved out.... - better that don't happen - LOL.
