8 buy-ins in a short time is wicked variance!

i used to play golf...a lot. and when i played and played and played, i got into some pretty nasty habits without realising it.

i would force myself to take 2 weeks off. and when i came back, i couldn't "feel a thing." and that was the best thing in the world because i also forgot those bad habits.

i had to start from the fundamentals and build my "feel" back. and it ALWAYS WORKED! has had the same affect in poker.

whether you see them or not, the bad habits are there. variance is variance, but it doesnt continue (if you are willing to be honest with yourself) without some of your own help ( i call it self-inflicted variance).

take a break, come back full of fear, stick to the fundamentals first, and KICK SOME ASS!! trust me. it will happen.
