Message: [QUOTE="Vachina, post: 4868615, member: 369525"] I am constantly battling against my inner demons while playing tournaments. After many years of consistent grinding I can affirm that I've been on downswing over 90% of the time. To be honest I don't even see it that way anymore. Results are just a continuous stream of data with a tendency of "Y" moving upwards or downarda over LARGE samples. Basically as an mtt player you are not winning majority of the time and only ocasional big wins keep you a float. You can either get used to losing or find another ocupation. For past two years have been playing recreationally only ~5000 games and I have not won anything significant and I am probably down a thousand or few, but I don't feel affected nor frustrated. I've had one big downswing of 1500 average buyins. Mainly because of poor game selection and personal problems in life. It served me as a vaccine against mental hurdles in both poker and life.
