people are too quick to pull out the -ve variance explanation. I could show you 20 buy-in downswings etc, but there is a common theme - the losses are -ve variance compounded by bad play.
Very true.
Case in point: I thought I was well on my way back from a 16-odd buy-in downswing at 50NL, until last night I sat down at a couple of the juiciest tables you will ever see and proceeded to drop 6 buy-ins in a 3-hour session. Now I'm back down at the bottom again.
At the time I thought I had been completely and utterly butt-f*cked by the poker gods - again - but after a painful post-session review I realised that while I had copped my fair share of coolers and suckouts, in truth the loss should and would have been substantially less had I maintained my focus and discipline.
I'm going to post about it more fully in the BC when I get a chance, because from what I've been reading around here lately I think some people might be able to learn from my experience. I certainly hope I (finally) do.
