Just keep grinding. Keep playing good.. Always practice solid bankroll management and eff the bad beats.  You just have to learn to take them in stride.. You have to be ice cold...Controlling your emotions when you're running bad is just as important as your hot streaks...

Maybe 100NL doesn't suit you but you can crush at 50NL. Maybe try playing there and not moving up just because you have the roll to. If you can make money at 50NL but not at 100NL there's no reason to move up

Maybe ur friend doesn't really know what he is doing after all? And if he is ur friend, why are you paying him to look at HHs?

Your bot score is 15.  You need to play more structured.

Your tilt score is 32.  This is quite high.  Take a break after a bad beat.


I am currently down 25 bi's at .50/1.00 NLHE

I am taking 30 days off thru Pokerstars.  Right now I feel like taking my bankroll and paying of my car for 13k and saying FUCK poker.   

  *  I think to many study sites
  * The UIGEA is getting closer and banks are tighten down(no new money)
  
This equals more sharks than ever.  I have never had a losing month Until October 2009. I  been running up for 40 months.  Something is wrong!!!!

I looked you up and your graph seems pretty descent.  Yes I would say you have had some downswings that you could fix by probably switching the way you play a little.  Maybe cut down the number of tables until you can avoid the swings but you are still trending upward.

There is no way your down 120 buy ins.. Just looking at the graph..  Its impossible.   You would have to be the worst player on the earth to have that kind of downswing. And I know your not. Because I am.. And I when I havent had anywhere near 100 buy in downswings. 10 at the most..
