Downswings....

[LegallyBlind]

Playing 400NL, Im down 9 buy ins since the start of June!!!. Its not the amount that has me freaking it's the length of time, I don't even remember what a cashout is like. Although I don't play as many hands as most people in here, and there is a good sized break mixed in there b/c I was running so cold. But I would say I have lost $3500 in 15k-20k hands.

Its been vicious, I keep thinking I'm back on solid footing and then the bottom falls out. Its out of control.

Anyway, my question is..can this be attributed to varience? Should I just keep playing and try and ride it out? How much longer can it last? Should I question whether I am a winning player? I have been playing for about 11 months, and never experienced anything even 1/3 as bad as this (again im talking over the amount of hands played, not so much BB's lost)...Anything to help me understand/deal with this is much appreciated
