a) I am winning less than my share of the pots which would be 10% in a full ring game

This is a common logical mistake. In a 10-handed game, you won't win 10% of hands.

Yeah the more pots you win the worse off you are (or you are just hot). I don't know what the best possible win% is in a 10-handed game but if I had to guess I'd say something like 7.5%.

I had a sample of 43k hands at 5/10 (two years ago) where I won just 5.8% of the time yet still booked a small profit. IMO this stat is an okay indicator of how well you are running (obviously w/ a correlation to VPIP). Other then that I wouldn't really read much into it.
