I feel your pain. Downers do happen, and sometimes when they do there is nothing you can do. Even most of the 1/2 tables now are filled with regs, and the big fish are all 1/4 BI's. I also agree with djzck, I did this when I was winning for months, then my downer hit and I have been working on my game nonstop since. I seen a blog about where this solid 2/4+ stars reg who 'wins' for 700k hands then 'loses' for 650k, and so on.

I think that as we win consistently we become content with our game. The game is changing even if its just a little, but we are not. The best players are making or even forcing the changes, but we are content so we no longer adapt as we did when we were still learning how to win. The best players are changing the game to exploit, and we end up getting exploited because we fail to adapt. A bad run to keep you on your game may just be the best thing for you.
