    Ok, so this is a semi-brag post. Today, after a month where I kept bubbling tourneys, getting coolered or bad beat near the end of tourneys, I won the Bodog 10dollar 5k at 9:10pm and the Bodog 44 dollar 5k at 10:20pm. I recently had lost a lot of confidence and was playing absurdly passively, but the deeper I went in today's tourneys, the more confidence I gained. I guess I'm getting my first taste of prolonger tourney variance. I calculated my tourney profit for the last month, and thanks to the 2 wins today, I'm finally up for the last month. Now, if only I didn't play cash games when I run badly in tourneys, and tilt, my roll would be much healthier, lol.

    Waco, curious, what is the deepest downswing in terms of time and money a top mtt'er like you has gone through? How do you keep your spirits up (or do you?) during this time?

    There is variance in sngs too, but don't feel its anywhere near that of mtt's...
