Re: players whose game i respect, please read and comment
I think bottomset's post is just about exactly right.
On top of that, it might be worth looking at your 10 biggest losers in the BB and UTG positions to make sure you got in reasonably well. It mostly looks like your getting killed in places where you naturally play strong hands. When that happens, it is usually luck outrunning skill. It is worth taking a good critical look at those hands, though. There may be some tilt creeping in and eroding some of your decision making.
During a recent bad run, I found my PokerEV red line was starting to dip down in big pots. When I went back and took a look, there were a couple of big pots that were just stubbornness. I had some tilty decisions in there that cost me a couple of buy-ins that I shouldn't have given up. That's never the whole story, but it may be the one thing you can actually fix.
