Back to the grindstone...
U must be playing badly to be on a downswing this bad. maybe u have realised this since this post.....now i will read the rest of the post.

Quit focussing on urself getting drawn out on, and focus on winning the maximum u can from ur good hands and the least from ur bad hands,

sure the big all in beats hurt, but i am sure that a small genuine downswing at first has turned u into a losing player - this usually occurs cos u miss value bets on later streets on fear people will draw out on u. i wud stop calling it a downswing and just face the fact u appear to have morphed into a losing player. i will now read from here onwards and see if u have changed ur approach.,

good luck anyway!
