Downswing

A downswing is a period of time in which a player incur in extended losses due to bad luck.

Any game with an element of luck has a certain amount of variance and for some short periods of time the normal distribution will suffer deviations.

Try to maintain mental stability to avoid increasing more than the normal losses due do this fact.

Side Pot

The side pot is the pot on the side in a hand with one or more all-in players. The main pot in a hand is the pot that all active players may win. When a player goes all in but there are more players who have more chips then he, they still can bet and a side pot will be created.

It is possible to generate as many side pots as necessary.
