Ended off the day down nearly $3000. I feel like shit. I also am having serious doubts about my ability to play 400NL profitably. I'm now down to 1.5ptBB/100 after 23,000 hands and I just feel like I'm getting outplayed more often then I outplay others. I'll sleep on it and see how I feel in the morning.

Downswings suck bro, but try not to get down on yourself. A really good friend of mine who plays 5/10 and 10/20 on Party and is very successful (may be one of the biggest 2/4 winners ever) has had far bigger downswings in much shorter periods of time than that. Poker is very brutal and many underestimate the short term luck factor involved. I suggest that you take a break for a little while and come back refreshed.
The other day I'm positive it was you who I stacked at 200nl. The hand went down like this, you raise on the button, I reraise with AKs, you call. Flop K44 two clubs, I bet you call. Turn 7, I check you push, I call. You have 97c and miss the river. Actually that hand is in the video I posted in the SHNL forum, about at the 24:00 minute mark. Just thought I'd bring this up for no reason. Anyways, best of luck to you my friend, I hope things turn around for you. I'm currently on an upswing that came right after a downswing that came after an upswing. It never ends.
