New table attempt turned to disaster. Regroup?

New table, NLHE 100$, down 7 buyins in 3000 hands. I am not playing great but to my defense consistently found myself in terrible situations (lots of villain draws got there, my draws almost never got there, tptk vs. set, never got reraised with a set, stuff like that).

I was winning 6bb/100 over 50k hands on NLHE 50. The stats of opponents are usually the same. Mine too (Except WWSD and WTS, which are way, way lower).

I don't think I have tilted, at least not to my knowledge, but I am feeling very depressed, always feel like I have the second best hand or that my draw can never hit, that I will never flop a set, or if I do I won't get paid off, or, if I try to float, my opponent will reraise me all in... you get the picture... However I feel that I am still doing what is necessary to do.

I have no bankroll problems (still have like 30 buyins from poker winnings).

questions:

1) I know I won't lose so much in the long run. However my moral is wtfpwned. Do you think if I keep playing, can I at least stop the bleeding before I go back to my 50$ table?

2) Should I be coached? Anybody you can recommend?

3) Wtf is going on?

If you are on stars, consider checking the 24 hour self-exclusion button for a 24 hour cool-down period.

If your morale is down, dropping back down to NL50 to regain confidence is probably the best idea. I am not sure 50k hands is enough to say you are a 6pt/bb winner, but it is obvious you are a winning player. Drop down, regain confidence, move up, profit.

And nothing is going on. You are hitting variance. Everyone does. But I think the best players don't tilt off more once they hit a rough spot, so dropping down or taking break is likely best.

PS. you will never get a serious answer to any question in BBV =)

I can get into a cooldown without software help hehe.

Which I did, since I don't think I can learn much while I am playing in this psychology.
