Lost most of my BR
I lost $110k playing 200/400 TD just now, which is a lot of my remaining bankroll. It was definitely bad bankroll management and definitely bad being unable to quit.
For some reason I believed that I had such an edge that I wouldn't suffer large swings, but obviously that isn't true. Now I'm at a stage where I'm not even sure I have an edge playing my default strategy which is a really bad thing for your game. I'm partially convinced I ran bad and just missed a lot of draws, or got overly coolered and outdrawn in a lot of spots but I'm not sure.
I have a weird mental block right now to be really annoyed about it, which is a bit odd and probably something that has come about from being accustomed to losing.
I realise that it happened and what it means, but what I'm feeling is a weird sense of futility about everything. There's no conceivable way of "recovering" it in the short term so I'm just kinda sitting here being meh.
I guess I need a real plan going forward, in terms of what to play. I've been in freefall since December and it needs to stop; I'm going to think long and hard about what to do next.

Hopefully most your BR was on FTP and you will be getting that back soon! ;)

i was keeping half an eye on that match, it didnt really go well for you at any stage except for a while where ye both kinda broke even early and later you seemed to make a 50BB~ comeback or so. either way i would imagine that an almost 300BB downswing is still conceivable to someone with an edge, but it would have to be near the worst youd expect.

Maybe though I don't think I play TD much differently whether I was in semi-retirement or not. The mistake was thinking the chance of busting my roll was worth it.

just lost almost 150BB to him too. its hard to beat someone that has the right side of 80% of the pips.

Ah nasty shit. Yeah he's good at that. He's also good at drawing 2 on the river vs #5 or #6 and getting there.
grafstackula: I can't coach at the moment, I'm going to Edinburgh Fringe festival for the entirety of this month so won't be available until after that.
