playing sss at nl25120BB while playing NL25...small amount compared to previous posts, but it still makes me mad/go on tilt when I see worse hands outfloppin and -drawin me hand after hand...downswings are bad, but you have to keep in mind that after downswing there's always an upswing 
Hehehe, downswings are really terrible!
The worst thing is to see your pocket kings getting ripped by a small set...
helemaalnicks, that's a lot o money!!! o.o
How long that downswing last?
800BB FL. Luckily I was 300 BB up (on the same limit) before I went down else I would have had a much lower BR now.

lol, i didnt really give a **** to be honest. I mean, lost 500, thats like, i played two days, so with my roi, i won about 300 on avg., so i was satisfied. ♦
Around 12k on NL400/600. Took me 3 days to lose it and 3 more to get it back.
After a while i started spewing chips left and right mostly on NL400 and needless to say i was playing nonstop.
This is the hand that caused ignition :

BB shows [ 9s, 7s ] a flush, Ten high
BB wins $1,456 USD with a flush, Ten high.
Making a good read and losing to an overaggresive retard who decided to 5-bet push with no overcard outs and a small flushdraw on paired board just made me snap ♦
About 250$ or 500BB NL50. It came right after my "let's play with 18 $ outside of BRM and see where we end up"-upswing and before my 200$ fifth place in an MTT, so it's been pretty harmless 
I'm going through my biggest downswing right now: about -1400 big bets (about 4500$). Maybe 1000BB if you substract spewing and tilting. Time to start recovering I'd say.
Nearly $200 out of my $600 bankroll in 2-3 days. Not counting the few $20-50 wins I had during that time and also have lost. Still going strong, losing to 6Ts AK to AQ etc.
Of course it's taken me on tilt occasionally so making a few quite stupid calls doesn't help the cause either. Need to learn to fold good cards even against the donks.
NL players should talk about stacks only because their BB swings are bigger.
500BB at FL should be 10-15 stacks (full stacks = 1000-1500BB) at NL is that correct?
well just to say i lost 2k in 7 hours today playing $100 buy ins BUT the good news for you all is that i was playing plo but my biggest downswing is 54 buy ins at $200 just thought id share but the loss today was ok as it was from my origanal free $50 so no big deal was up to $5490 in 1 week but there are 2 good thing to come out of it , im a gold member of poker strategy in a week ...lol and maybe more important realising the size of all your members downswings i may just have start playing nlhe ring games again ... plo is so sick sometimes grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr gl at the tales all
