It seems like variance hits me more then some other people:
Am I too aggressive preflop? I mean, its just a part of my HAG style but it doesnt seem to work too good...

I guess people just not used to a real poker player from the high-stakes (2/4NL) at their 50NL games and dont understand all the complicated implications of the HAG play:

All this said, time to go and grind it out. I mean, I just have to play the way I do, bad runs happen and if ur a winning player, you need to have enough fate in your style to survive the downswing without changing anything.
