Back to the drawing board, advise please..

I will say that my big loses come from putting my money in with the best of it, but its cost me to the point where now I'm outside my BR.

How can that be?

I haven't been busting on losing a lot of hands. Its been big hand vs little all in situations. I honestly can't say once out of side of the thread I posted about hitting two aces on the board in the last two months I've pushed without having the best of it. I've just been getting extremely unlucky. I have leaks that have been making me lose 20% of buyins on tables though, that is something I work daily towards trying to improve.

Although "being unlucky" for 2 months seems a little extreme to me, let luck even out and keep working on fixing that leaks.

I know it sounds unrealistic. I've gone back and looked and relooked over my notes from my B&M sessions (my largest leaks) and my notes from my online sessions. Online, I'm not playing my greatest game lately. I've been playing patchwork it seems and just continuing to find and patch leaks. Cold cards online, but it happens.

B&M is where my major losses come. I've had quite a few bad beats as of late. Trip kings beat by a runner runner straight. Kings up against runner runner two pair. Aces up against running straight. Those three are prime examples, it happens to us all, those just happen to cost me a lot of money as I was more than willing to get all my money in there on the flop. The fact that I got unlucky sucks, I understand that, and it will improve. I know that, I just need to keep playing smart and just make a little change to freshin up my mind if that makes any sense. Only twice have I lost big pots putting my money in the worst of it. KK vs AA preflop, no problem with that one. Then AK vs 99 when the flop came AA9.

With all that said, I understand that you can not make a downswing out of only a handful of hands. The problem comes though is those hands came from my B&M BR, not my online, but I still consolidate all my loses\winnings into one document so I have always a realistic view of how I'm doing. My online play though has been in a small downswing, that doesn't make me feel much better. Not a horrible swing online, but its a small one. My tournament play does offset it though.

Miffed just turned me on (as he always does oh gawd) to the PartyPoker bonus whoring. Gonna do that to get me "back in shape" per say.
