Something is wrong.

Since 2/7/09, over 8 playing days with one day off, I played 60k hands of NL($0.50)(6-max). I am missing $225 of allin EV, I am missing 54 pairs of aces!! (and 12/38 times in the BB I got a walk, which also seems too high), and there seems to be some invisible resistance level preventing me from making any profit on the graph below. I will let the pictures below tell the rest of the story, where I lost $186 and paid $1457 in rake.

I tried short, medium, and full stacking - nothing is working.

Either:
1) The games are unbeatable now.
2) I got worse at poker.
3) Small sample size, bad run?
4) Rigged doomswitch.

I need some time off.
This is an interim update until I get even at this limit or give up.

1. The games are "beatable",you made 4k last month right?
2. Is that really a possibility?
3. Viable
4. Viable (sadly enough)

You have played 3 million hands and you still ponder such things? I think you take the game too seriously and it makes it hurt more when your down and makes you feel like a genius when your up. We all want to attribute skill to our successes in this game more than luck. It is important not to cross the line where you no longer enjoy playing(unless you are killing it)becuase it rots your game(especially live). So if you really do feel like you are playing worse it is psychological because you a proven winner over the long term. just my 2 cents. keep it real.
