Ok so I'm cruising along NL100 at a respectable rate, almost 3k BR.

I'm seriously comtemplating grinding it out as an income after my current job finishes up (which is this week).

Queue December, I am working full time - so not many hands this month.

In those 20k hands, I lose 60+% of my BR. No I didn't move up limits or go play HU.. In fact I moved down at about 1.7k to NL50 to ride it out.

Anyway I thought the pics were quite funny, particularly the flop a set/EV.. so may aswell post and have a laugh now that I'm barely rolled for NL50 with 1.25k.

People don't joke when they say huge downswings are possible, I just really didn't think I could run this bad..

(yes I'm well aware I probably didn't play 100% optimal, but I sure as hell wasn't spewing like a retard.. and actually moved down responsibly - non-showdown winnings are a concern though)

how do you lose 23BI at one limit O_O

I'd be just about busto if that happened (I feel like I am anyway - with 15bi across limits)

What to do now? stay at 50? 25?

Well I went from 4k bankroll to 1.7k, just gradually during a week, donking 4-5 bi every day, then grinded nl50 to 2k and now Im close to 4k again.
I think you should stay at nl50 if you feel you can win there and you have 15-20 bi, if you go under 15 you prolly have to go down.
