Blackhole, you need to read and re-read and re-read until you understand what is being said before you speak. Please show where I ever said I had swings from -8k or -10k to profitable days? I may have had one of these over the years, but I don't recall it. One of the reasons this is unlikely is because I only come out with a fixed amount of funds for a days play.
If I were to lose 8k to 10k, my playing BR will have been depleted to the point that for me to continue, I would have to replenish funds from the bank or go back home. I rarely do that. One of the few times I did was the 20k losing day I mentioned. If I recall correctly, I started the daay with a big loss, $7500 or 8k. Since i had only made one stop and played 45 minutes, I decided to replenish that day. After replenishing I recorded anoth losing session in the 3k, 4k range. 3rd session was either break even or a very small win. After a lunch break I played my 4th session and lost another 10k at which point I quit for the day.
Very, very rare that I replenish like that, so almost impossible for me to lose 8k-10k and then win for the day.
For me to lose this kind of money I will have HAD to replenish at some point, and think I have only done so 3 or 4 times in my career. Sometimes I will replenish a few thousand from an ATM just to be sure I have proper BR to start another session, but to lose all or most of my funds for that day and then go to the bank or home and replenish with another substanitial amount,
very, very rare.
These kind of swings 8k, 10k are not common for me at my level. They happen but only a handful of times a year. So for me to be down 8k, 10k and then win for the day, not only would I have had to replenish as just stated, but I would have had to have had two of these rare swings (one in each direction) in the same day. I don't recall that happening....it may have but I don't recall, so again, please link to where I said I was down 8k, 10k and won for the day. And if it did occur and I don't recall, it was ONCE. This is not a common occurance. None of these things you are focusing on are common occurances. You are cherry-picking the most extreme things and trying to portary them as routine.
As for my playing unrated, I have shared some of the things I do to do so. It all starts with short sessions and betting levels that are well tolerated. That way you aren't going to score as many really big wins that draw attention and pit wants to know who you are and/or has to answer for you.
