its getting so tiering running like this month after month..

this downswing has lasted for over 3 months now and these 2 last days speak for themself..

over 3 different sites now and i made some calculations and im 120 buy ins under my expected EV. over 3 months and about 200k hands.

im seriously thinking of suicide, its so enoying cuz im laying down soooo much time on this shit.

Im sure i have alot of leaks but im pretty sure i should be more of a winner on 25NL and 50NL then breakeven with EV telling me im a 15bb/100 winner..

fucking piss..

Just because he's down after 3 months doesn't mean he's been on a straight 3 months losing streak. He probably had a period were he was winning, moved up to NL50 again, lost money and moved down again.

yah u could be right.

Personally i was on a 3 month downswing as well, however, i never won *sigh* it was literally i had losing session after losing session and my 600 25nl roll (which started at 150) got demolished and i went busto.
i was just using my own personal experiences. sorry! no harm intended and gl man

In your case you played 25NL underrolled and ran hot, then when things evened out and skill came into play you got demolished. I know this because it happened to me.
