Downswing
What it means
An extended period of losses. It can come from variance or from your own mistakes; it's a good idea to review hands calmly and, if needed, move down in stakes or take a break.
Example
You're down 30 buy-ins in a month. You review your hands, move down in stakes to protect your bankroll, and take a few days off if you notice tilt.
