These can create downswings as much as the random suckouts from bad play. Happened to me today

I said "but because my opponents are weak I usually win them back pretty fast" not that I have 2.5 BI downswings because my opponents play bad.

So even if I lose 2,3 or 4 BI it's just a matter of time until I win them back (usually in the same day).

I don't think poker is for me. 45K hands mean 3-4 months for me.
