This will be short. I'm on the worst downswing i've ever had. I lost 12 buyins on NL25. I had 8 PTBB over 40k hands, and after 55k hands, i have like 1.7? I lost all my confidence, i dont know what to do. I dont have a bakroll for NL25 ffs now, i have to move down. I dont think i will be able to beat NL10... I spew a bit, as i review my play, but Lee obviously put a sign on me. My favourites: flopped quads vs turned better quads, pf allin KK vs 56o /guy runner-runners his straight/, every coinflip lost,and the last hand of todays session: BB vs SB, AA vs AQ pf allin for 3 buyins, the motherfucker flopped fuckin quads. I'm going to take a break, like a week, move down, and if this continues, i will kill myself...
Better luck to everyone!

if you made 8 pt bb over 40k hands then a 12 buyin downswing should mean nothing to you

about a year ago i had a really fkin tough run that almost busted me (why i say FTP is rigged) but i was playing bad and didnt realise it, would go +/- 20 buyins frequently
takes a while to learn the skills to beat a game at 8ptbb/100 so dont be worried u arent yet

I don´t like beer... Which is wierd because the stronger stuff disappears around me.
I´m always in trouble when in a different country though, since i have no idea what to order. Life is hard ;|
I am a NL25 player so take my advice/comments in that perspective

Look at your big hands/herocalls, big hands where people folded to you, find ones were you probably could have saved/squeezed out a bi or two. Realize those are mistakes. If you find none, well, fuck, stop lying to yourself. Those hands are pretty rough though, judging from the post, definitely move down for a bit and regain confidence. Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll bounce back.
Solider on. 'nuff said.

penny games are definitely serious enough to consider killing yourself over.
we're talking about TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS here people, wouldn't you kill yourself if you lost that much money??
