[talkingoutarse]Trying to find a way to obtain massive amounts of money and big scores. It appears playing tournies meets that criteria. Without supplemental income that many players are fortunate to have(sponsorships), if you lose big it will take a long time to rebuild.[/talkingoutarse]
The worst downswing I’ve ever had was about $1 million, which was a little under half of my bankroll. It really sucked, but I reevaluated, made some changes, played a little smaller, took edgier spots, and went from there. That’s the way it is. You have to expect downswings, and when they come, you have to be able to look at them in context.
