Hi. IMHO there is nothing wrong with tightening up and going NIT for a while, especially if you are card dead and not hitting the board. Doing this might mitigate the effects of torrid bad luck (being sucked out on, walking flopped monsters headfirst into bigger flopped monsters etc.). You are not making gains at the moment, so why not minimise your losses?

I find reading more about the game and forcing myself to learn new skills and solidify old ones helps me with the bad times. I also like to spend half a day at least on poker tracker going over old hands and stats analysis now and again, usually to take a break from playing card dead.

My problem was doing stupid things automatically on the felt, without putting any/enough conscious thought into the act (bluffing fish, crying calls etc.). I used my bad period to really work on this issue and a couple of others in my game. Because my issue was habitual (autopilot) it thus took a while to unlearn the bad habit. I found the back to basics NIT approach to be helpful while I worked on this.

For sure though, buy in for your usual amount, and don't change that simply because your confidence is shattered.
