Third worst 18 tournament run

Last night, my blue distance grew to over $2,000,000 again. I've only made the money in 3 of the last 18 MTT-R NLHEs I've played, which ties for my 3rd worst 18 tournament run ever. There are several possible explanations; here are the two which immediately spring to mind:

1. I'm finally emerging from a months-long profit bubble, into a harsh reality I was blissfully ignorant of before
2. I'm overdue for a hugely profitable session

You won't be surprised to hear that my money is on the second one :-)
