Am i doing something horribly horribly wrong? I don't see it if so. I'm mostly playing the same I played on Stars at .5/1 where over 5k hands i was running at 5.36BB/100 and at 1/2 i ran at 2.36BB/100 over 15k hands.
Now, I've won 47% of my sessions and besides frustration this is what I got:

10k break even stretches aren't unheard of, so I wouldn't freak. Stats look pretty solid. You could stand to defend your blinds a little more. Could probably go to showdown a bit more often.
Really, just a couple very minor adjustments. I think I give it another 10k, you're looking good.

I don't defend the blinds much because at .5/1 I prefer to stay away from more sophisticated plays and just play the old fashioned way. I do play by reads, but prefer to just let the blinds go unless i have a GOOD hand.
Cheers eupho.
It's just that my sessions look like: Win, lose a bit, breakeven, lose more, win it back, breakeven x 2, lose.
And with every session it's just getting harder to play. I've resorted to conciously not looking at my chip stack while at the tables, also, in the middle of a session, i'll add more chips to the table by clicking a random number and making sure I don't look at the chipstack 4-5 hands before and AFTER i do this so that I lose track of how much i've won/lost by that point.

I understand the reasoning since there is less blind stealing at this level, but it is wrong for 6 max regardless of the level. The blinds circulate too fast not to concentrate on this part of your game, and you have the equity to call more hands in the blinds than you think.

My guess would be you were running hot before, now variance is catching up with you (i.e. you're running bad now). Going from hot directly to cold and skipping lukewarm can make you feel like you completely lost your ability to play. But it's still there. I'd play more before getting too concerned. Regarding your stats, I'm not very good at PT recommendations, so I'll leave that to other people. But I can tell you that I've been on very long breakeven streaks before, and the graph kind of ends up looking like a mountain range with peaks and valleys, but sea level at both extremes. But I always break free of these streaks eventually.

TBH, after the 5BB/100 5k hand streak at PS, i've coupled it with this disturbing 10k hand run and i'm at about 2.3BB/100 combined.

I would say VPIP too low, but not bad, same with PFR%. Definitely need to raise more from Button (and probably CO, but no position stats). Go to showdown more. Blind defence, fold more from the SB, and less from the BB. You should be raising the button when folded to you in the 35-40% range, and even more if blind stealing has been successful. Even if they call, this is the correct play because you have an equity edge and a position edge against most people's blind calling ranges.

You poor, poor man.
Errr, what? He's folding 82%. Fold LESS from SB, but threebet more against stealers.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

But also don't complete much, either.

eupho, wasn't complaining about the 2bb/100, rather put it out there to confirm that indeed i seem to have ran to hot at PS, enough so that even after a 10k hand losing streak, i'm still beating .5/1 overall
