Oh yeah, that's my favorite example when I want to describe how terribly some players play
And about the topic - that's just the reality of poker. I have even worse downswings from time to time if that makes you feel better. And I use ultra conservative bankroll management, no fancy "shots" to higher limits, no crazy heads up matches for a half of my bankroll, just grinding in the proper limit (Rush). The best thing you can do IMHO is shut the fuck up and keep fighting. If you feel terrible - take a break, exlude yourself from playing for some time if necessary. If you have the guts, you keep moving. If you don't - oh well, there are thousands "lost souls" whining about online poker being rigged and so on

And it's very normal - only the best can climb to the top.
That's my philosophy of poker

And at the same time - philosophy of life.
P.S. If you decide to watch videos and learn - do that when you have a good run. If you learn while feeling miserable - you just waste your time
