I have nearly finished my masters and I am not sure to deposit again. (I haven't played for 6 months and haven't played for 9 months seriously).
I am not sure if it's worth the hassle to play again. Do you know a lot of people who overcame big downswings / losing phases?
I have spoken to a few good players on European sites and they all said that the state of the game is significantly worse than 1-2 years ago...

I've lost 100bi/been on 100bi downswings a couple of times. What works for me is that i move down/drop down in stakes (even tho I might have been rolled for playing the same stakes as i dropped 100bis on).. and just set strict ground rules for stop loss/when you want to move up and follow it strictly... Then I get into this "Grind mode feeling" which is really important to have in my eyes, because u get really really motivated/enjoying grinding it back even tho u play lower...

This is has been really helpful through my downswings + u get your game/confidence "back"...

It is very important to move down when running bad and move up when running hot.

Honestly Chuck, I would have quit already. That sucks man. I guess you are just barely losing though and prob up on RB. This game sucks donkey balls at times.

I'm closer to jumping off my balcony than quitting.. ha. I'm roughly 40-50k up in tournies during that period, so could be worse.

me too man. no life time graphs, previous hands are on a computer that's accumulating dust in my parents house. they were pretty uninspiring though, I've only really gotten good the past year or so.

You in newcastle atm? I'm not there anymore, just seen some photos of the floods and a vid of tyne bridge getting struck by lightning. crazy.
