I'm confident October is gonna be my best month so far, if not results-wise then volume-wise and quality-of-play-wise.

If I am correct and I am pretty sure I am you play on nl1000 in CNY and was playing nl2000 cny which would be roughly equvialent of nl150/nl300 in $.
I can PM you with the name of the site if you want.
What I wanted to say instead of thinking in terms " I had the worst downswing of my life" look at the poluation tendencies. Say you play vs Chinese guys for the most part your table will have couple of whales and ubernits. There is this Chinese I suppose live reg thing playing something in a range of 20/8 to like 20/11 (VPIP/PFR) that just don't stack off lite and as silly as it sounds you need to give them huge credit. So they raise you on K42r and you have AKo or even AA and it is a fold as silly as it sounds.
Same vs 3bets for the most part against bunch of guys even hands like QQ and AK are maybe call and sometimes even fold. I know how ridiculous it sounds.
Same you have a bottom set vs nit on the River it is just a call not a raise. They don't call river raises liberally. Again sounds silly but thats what it is.
Another tip if 50/5 or 38/10 whale raise preflop give him credit and don't call speculative hands. Pairs are very good for set mining but even KQo is going to be fold a lot of the time.
Don't play Suited connectors and in general low suited hands multiway just fold them pre. I know like 56s looks super sexy but you rarely hit the straight and when chasing flush you end up with super low one in a spot where fish just love to play suited trash and they are going to dominate you most of the time. Then you are going to say oh it was flush vs flush cooler but it wasn't.
I know a lot what I write here sounds silly but if the games run like 2009 you need to approach them like it was 2009 again.
For me I play in the morning on normal sites and then on this "we won't mention thing" but I have a checklist I go thru to remind myself that I need to play really different to what I play on "normal sites" As silly as it sounds.
