I think a lot of the Ongame players are pretty bad, though. They are either rocks or they spew chips.
Ive had 8 buyin upswings but never an 8 buyin downswing and only one 5 buyin downswing. Now, have I been fairly lucky? I guess, but I really dont think that a solid TAGG game [20/10 is taggy, Im around 21/16 and still consider myself tagg] should be regularly seeing a 4-5 buyin downswing. A good lagg probably wont either simply because they could so easily run over a table without much resistance and the resistance they face would be very transparent. However, I do think they would see a swing of that magnitude much more often than a tighter player, but it would sitll probably be fairly uncommon.

Now, I dont tilt that often and usually put in long sessions when Im losing, but after close to 100k hands at these levels I still stand by my statements.
I will be the first to admit that I have a propensity to get involved in some big pots with marginal holdings. I need to stop that. I am just saying that for every session I have that is 4 buyins up, I have one that is 4 buyins down. Or at least it seems this way. I do have MANY leaks to plug.
