    lol - Doesnt it depend on how ur playing?

    Do you mean a 15 BI downswing playing exactly the same as you did when you wre winning/breaking even?

    If so surely the answer has to be yes.

    Is it standard to tilt/donk/call off 20 buy ins?

    i think playing the same but im not even sure lol. If ive dropped 15BIs could it just be standard or is it more likely ive been playing badly/tilting? I dont really think i have changed anything though.

    Stardard?  Yes

    Does it deserve examining?  For sure.  When I go on a downswing like this I literally go through dozens of hands in the swing to check if I am adding to the downswing by some poor choices.

    Im currently playing 20BI's but wwould find it hard to drop back down.

    However comming to 15 id probably have to consider it, everyone says my BR management is the cauce of my problems so ive worked on that. GL what ever level your on Blackfish.

    over how many hands? what limit?

    the answer is yes, but i would be more worried depending on my winrate.

    6876 hands, 10nl rush, -$202.72, EV -$150.7

    So is this just a really bad downswing, or should I be looking at how im playing? And how should I go about looking into how im playing?

    Blackfish although could be just a downswing still worth having a look at how you played the hands, maybe that you have picked up a bad habit and havent realised. Or have made some poor decisions based on tilt without knowing. just review your hands see if you could have played differently, maybe get someone else with better/similar ability to analyse a couple of sessions

    Sure your be back on the winning trail soon just a matter of time
