Dang, I have been swinging like a monkey!! I usually play 3 tables (sometimes 1 tourney and 2 full ring tables) at 25NL. At 6K hands my BB/100 was around 7, at 10K hands it was 11.8 (had it over 12 for a few hundered hands), and just turning 12K hands it is at 6.8, but up from my low point of 5.7......

I know I play a slightly swingy style, but I guess I wasn't prepared for that downswing over the course of 2K hands. Some of it was bad beats, but other times I know I played badly. Hopefully I am through that rough patch and on my way back up!!!

Basically, if you play tight, your hands will get paid off at $10 and $25 NL. Bad beats are discouraging, but they happen and long term you will be okay. I can tell you it is tough to break away from the table when you feel like nothing can go right, but you absolutely must or you will spiral downward. That was part of my problem during my short downswing. I found it tough to break away. Read the post about not being able to make someone fold. It is enlightening...

Good luck!!!
