Dealing with a large down-swing
I'm currently in the midst of a 100+ BB down-swing and as painfull as it is to talk about......here are many of the key hands. Feel free to comment on any bad plays you see.

I re-raise a clueless player on the river and he actually had a hand, though he played it extremely poorly. He would play Kx the same way.

Same clueless player as above. I almost re-raised the river, putting him on QJ or TJ.

Maybe this was a poor river bet, but the donkey would have paid me off with any piece of the flop.

It's hard to put an opponent on a runner, runner flush.

Maybe I should have checked behind on the river but I put him on a lower pocket pair. What a passive donkey.

A large junk kicking by a donator.

Another kick in the junk by a feeder.

Just your basic suckout by an ATM machine.

Super annoying hand. At least the donkey played it poorly and saved me a couple bets.

A 2-outer by a massive donkey.

Looks familar doesn't it. Another 2-outer by a huge donkey with 55.

A huge brick on the river! Anybody go LAG and re-raise the turn?

Brick house again. Sing it with me! I'm a brick..........houuussseeeee.

Donkey calls one off on the flop with nothing and hits running trips.

A blind defense gone very, very bad. I should have just called preflop and then check raised the flop to try and take control of the hand.
Most of this down-swing is just variance, but it's very, very annoying. I hate losing to donkeys!! To take my mind off of these beats, I've been mixing in a little Omaha, O8 and NLHE tourneys with good results. However, I still plan to spend most of my poker time moving up the LHE food chain.
