Over the three weeks I've been at NL25, I've noticed that the weekends seem really swingy. They're not humongous swings, they're just swings of one or two buyins up and down every half hour or so so that by Monday, I'm back almost exactly where I was on Friday. It's irritating because weekends are supposed to be God's gift to poker players. It's probably the way I'm playing.

Earlier I lost 4 buy ins in a couple of minutes, back to back suckouts. I don't have a stoploss though, because I think losing four buy ins at 25NL really shouldn't be a big deal. If I were to quit everytime I tilted I wouldn't be playing very much, so I just forced myself to untilt and play through the pain. Made 2 of those buy ins back in the next half hour in time to catch the last bits of the 2x FPP/VPP promotion.

I amuse myself by trying to rate my weekends on my swing scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being Asian breasts (not swingy), 4 being Tarzan (moderately swingy), 7 being Count Basie's Big Band (very swingy) and 10 being Christmas at the Texas Temple (yeehaw).

my gf is asian, and her breasts are swingy lol

on a serious note, don't let swings get you down...i played a really really tag style at 25nl from $500 to $1000 and i had numerous swings of 4-5 buyins, its standard

^ Hmmm. Poker is a serious topic, Asian breasts are not. I'm beginning to think there might be a work-life balance problem here.
