What goes up must come down

Ouch, that's painful.
There's a thread (I don't remember which one right now) with these kind of graphs.

there's nothing if you've already risen to the top and come down now you just need to go up again. But you have to hold on when you fall down, you need to raise yourself a little and gird up your loins and you'll be able to get your money back and get your old schedule back

It looks like you had one big win of around 150000. Was that in the Sunday million? Did you try and cash out your winnings and they didn't let you? How did you proceed to lose it? Tourney entries or cash games?

But how can you loose 100k so quick? Consistently not cashing for 1k times in 100$ MTTs?

Hope that's not you!

Looks like someone thought they were better than they actually are after that big win.

This sounds like my bankrolls ...

Just to clarify: it is not my graph.

It was a player that won a freeroll to Sunday Millions and got super lucky and won the tournament.

He is now back to playing freerolls after losing it all on high-stake HU SnGs.

It was just to show how much a lottery a single MTT is.

And of course the importance of discipline and bankroll management after you get lucky.

ALL players have to realise, and remember, that you need some luck to win a big MTT. And if you get that luck, remember that your opponents can have the same kind of luck. Dan Harrington wrote that he had never won a big MTT without having, at some point, luck to win a hand when he had been in danger of going out.

The key is to taking advantage of good luck (ie -playing the hand to maximise your winnings) and losing as little as possible when it goes against you. That often means not putting too many chips at risk when you are less than 50:50 to win.

Looks like that player suddenly thought he was going to be lucky again.

Amazingly in less than 500 games.
