Your graph looks like normal tournament variance aside from some really massive swings in short periods...are you playing tournaments beyond your bankroll? shot taking some big ones from time to time? Losing/not cashing well within 125-150 tournaments is fairly normal - if you look at my BOL graph right now im on a 300+ game downswing, but if i look into my PT4, im winning 17bb/100 on BOL, so just gotta ride the swing out and be patient.
Tournament poker is tough and most players cannot handle the reality of what it takes to be profitable at it. Volume is key to overcoming variance - and to put in the correct volume of 125+ games per month, you need to have good bankroll management to survive the bad times. Most are unwilling to accept the harsh reality that is tournament poker, and they want to make extra cash every month playing 30 games per month and even on the best of upswings, its just not going to pan out well. If you feel like maybe you have some tendencies or leaks in your game and want another set of eyes to look through a hand history of yours - id be really happy to do so. And with your permission should you submit me one, id love to turn the review into a study stream session? Let me know.
