I'm not sure if you're joking or not (since you have platinum status, I suppose you already played some thousands of hands)...
3BI dowswings are absolutely nothing. Had half dozen sessions more than 10BI down in 250k hands.
And yes, it's perfectly possible to be a winning player still - as long as you have enough bankroll to keep grinding and you don't tilt. I went on a 1 month consecutive downswing thought. Never were 2 days in a row above EV, and was running worse than ever and more than 20BI below EV, and I finnaly couldn't bear it, so I stopped playing on stars and full ring and I will move soon to iPoker to bonus grind and play HU and SH.

This year I have had 600$ and up downswings 4 times playing NL25-50 and tournaments 2-22$. And Im up 7k since december 2010.
If it was on NL50, it's just 12 buy ins, so it doesn't deserve to be even called a downswing, just a normal bad session... ♦
