I lost three buy ins the other day.
AA vs. 78s hits King high flush
QQ vs. 74o hits Quad 7s
KK vs. A5s hits a 7 high straight.
Don't assume your bank roll is indicative of your play. Three people took my BIs and bumped their BR at my expense but I don't believe I played badly in any of the hands. I'm definately a superior player with my bankroll down 3 BI's than I was the week before when I could look at my BR with glee.
Additionally I wouldn't worry so much about reads at this level. With people popping in and out so fast I have a hard time even reading their name. What is there to read when someone hops onto the table, goes all-in and either doubles up and leaves, goes broke and leaves, or takes the blinds and does it again? I pay more attention to cards and position and try to play fundementally. I make the assumption my opponents don't know what they are doing and simple straight forward poker will beat them until they show me other wise, than I'll pay attention to them.
Also, I'm not sure playing every day or reading about it every day is constructive when learning something such as poker. I've found my biggest break throughs come after my performance level dips and my frustration is high and I simply step away and for a few days and let my mind work it out. Sometimes you need to digest what you know without the interferance of learning some new strategy or tactic.
From your posts it seems you are focused on money and not concentrating on your play. I don't see how the issues with your game can be resovled by moving from .50 to three tabling .10. I often find myself challenged by the flop in front of me and I imagine I'd be a deer to headlights with three.
I look at what little success I've had as the result of patience, good decisions, decisive decisions, agression, and a short term memory of the money I've lost on hands but not how the hands were played.
Good luck rebounding of the bad run.
