running bad

[The Izebox]

August is the first month in over a year where I have lost money ($$-154). Ive enjoyed considerable success at the 1-2 and 2-4 tables for a couple of years, and while losing a couple of hundred bucks is no big deal, not making any money IS a big deal when you have bills to pay. I actually had to cut my roll down to 5k to pay rent, which means that I can no longer play nl 2-4.

Question: In what ways do you guys check your play? What I mean is, how do you personally make sure that the reason that your on a downswing is because of a bad run of cards/situations rather than poor play?

Should i tighten up from my usual SLAAG game?

Should i reduce the number of tables I play?

Keep grinding and dont worry about it?

As some of you understand im under a little stress, I cant really have another losing month. Any help would be appreciated.

keep grinding and dont worry about it! you know you are beating the game so just play within roll and you never have to worry.

How often do I get it all-in as a favourite?
What mistakes do I make?
How are my opponents playing against me and are they doing any mistakes against me?
Am I adjusting enough to table conditions and opponents?
Am I leaving bad tables and seats?
