Well, after working hard for 15,000 hands I have finally built my bankroll up to a sufficient some for moving up to 1-2 limit hold'em.

The past week I experienced my first big downswing but managed to work my way through it without to my much damage to my bankroll and eventually my luck changed back up and I got back to winning at a good pace.

The thing about downswings are that you might still be playing good poker sometimes there isn't much you can do about it, however this will last for a limited period and if you are playing in limits that are correct according to your bankroll you have a big enough margin where a run of bad luck will not hurt you to much, so even efter losing money for 3,000 hands I was in good enough shape to make my comeback.

Im attaching my poker tracker screen shot and final graph for 0.5-1 $ limit hold'em, you can click on the images to see the larger picture.
