Looks like you were really crushing until the downswing. What happened there? Great recovery tho!

ETA: Also looks like a 9K upswing in like 50 hours, cripes! Is this 100bb BI max at 1/2 NL? If so, my guess is you play a highly volatile style, but that's just a guess based on this giraffe.
Ggoodluck!G
So yeah it's about 900 hours of 1/2 and 40 hours of 1/3 (-800). IIRC the last 4 1/3 sessions have ended with me getting rivered for a $700+ pot. HS guys talk about swing pots when shottaking and those are mine for the time being.
The 1/2 is 150bb max but my typical buyin strat is start with 110bb and 50bb in pocket, and then plop the 50bb on after I play a couple hands (assuming I don't win those hands).
Downswing sucked, but as mentioned the preceding upswing was pretty sick.
Downswing was exacerbated by poor play/lifetilt in addition to running colder, I am pretty sure I'd be at 10bb/hr still if I could find the fold button correctly more often.
I do play a volatile style because my poker background is all SNG/MTTSNG/MTT, never played cash online. Don't believe I've ever open limped in these 1k hours, and I'm not a habitual utg straddler but I do put it on more often than a lot of players.
Probably the worst mistake I made is not taking shots at 2/5 towards the top of that peak. Cash bankroll peaked around $7k and at that point I kinda lost my seriousness about 1/2 and spewed badly. Obviously the downswing would have been extra brutal at 2/5 but I believe the DS was mostly my fault not the deck, so results would have been interesting. Maybe should have made 1/3 my primary game around then but I dislike Shoe Baltimore and that's the only local 1/3 game.
