Re: Is it simply variance?
It sounds like you're having the same type of month I'm having. I've been lucky in that I'm still working off a deposit bonus, which has greatly softened the blow.
Unfortunately, there's not much either of us can do. We just have to keep playing good poker and hope that variance cycles back into upswing mode. Maybe a break for a couple of days will help you come back fresh and relaxed. Personally, I've been playing several freeroll donkaments to try and blow off some steam.
I will suggest that you forget what your hole cards are after you muck them pre-flop. By keeping track of what you would've hit will only drive you insane and it may lead to being sucked into the trap of donk-thinking "ATC can win, so I'll just limp every hand." This thinking will only ruin your game (especially if it works at first).
Anyway, sorry I can't be more help.
