As coincidence would have it, I just recently wrote, among other things, an opinion on downswings and "3 betting" @ $25NL and lower - look @ #'s 3 and 5 respectively. The cliff notes version is that you don't want to think of yourself "in the midst of a downswing". Know that the very next hand could be equally good or bad. I totally understand the feelings you've expressed and maybe YOU don't actually think you're in one, but when you say you're IN a downswing, that's a red flag to me. As for the 3 betting, whether or not you're getting the results you want, 3 betting is so far down the list of things you can probably improve that I would recommend staying out of the 3bet, 4bet, 5bet game. Work on the ranges game, value bet game, starting hand versus position game, relative hand strength game, and many other games before that one. Good luck.
