Feeling sorry for myself here, If tragedy ain't your thing probably best move tables now XD

My game is in absolute chaos right now. 40k hands running at - 7.5BB/100.

I'm not going to wheel out bad beat stories or "minus EV" nonsense... because I think the reason is I'm simply terrible at this game at this time. My VPIP is the generally tighter side of normal and 3-bets are where they should be. And I seem to be making straights and flushes around as often as I should. The only anomaly over 85K hands is sets, which to put it simply don't happen XD (connecting with something like 3-4% of pocket pairs).

I started out great, 10k hands of NL2 for 12bb/100 (not a decent sample by any means I know) and moved to NL5 where I got 7.5BB/100 over 30K hands. (again, could be a bigger sample but at this point I felt good.)

Since then, just pure insanity. winning less then 1 in ten sessions, often down by multiple buy-ins. Zero confidence in my ability.

Now a massive factor in this was moving to zoom. Maybe naively but this seemed like a good place to go "back to basics" after the downswing started. I simply can't think what else to try. I'm now in 0BB/100 all-time territory and can't seem to find anyway back on track.

When do you stop blaming variance for the downswings, and accept that it was the UPSWING that was luck!? :D

Or have you been through this downswing and come out of the other side with your sanity intact?
