It is a good question, but I haven't had one. My biggest downswing was just a couple of weeks ago. I lost 2 buy-ins in my first shot at 400NL, followed by 4 at 200NL. Psychologically, it was really tough losing that much $. But then I looked through my hands and realized that the big losses that weren't bad beats were almost all spew. I was playing cocky and not giving my opps enough credit. Once I decided the problem was fixable, it wasn't tough to start playing hands again. I played a couple days of break-even poker before starting to climb back.
