steal the blinds more and stop calling down with big overcards when it is clear that you are beat.

I don't know what limits you play, but at very low limits when I'm on a downswing I tighten up and only play the most profitable hands.

Good players can squeeze profit out of marginal hands, and when I'm losing I say to hell with everything marginal and just stick to big hands and people pay you off enough on those at low limits to begin rebuilding.

Thanks I have been playing only $1-2 NLH some of the pots can get to $300. Today I have been playing the top ten AA KK etc when I have KK some has AA its been a crazy few weeks.

When I first started I was doing well I knew it could never be that easy.

Do you have the bankroll to withstand this downswing playing 1/2 NLHE? Variance in NL can be a total heartbreaker at times. It might be worthwhile to drop down a level so you can re-evaluate your game and find leaks. I've taken a long time off from NL after getting slammed for a third of my roll.

in the time it took you to write that post, you could have possibly learned something of value in one of the other posts here. that, i think, is the root of your problem.

I hope you have the 4,000 dollar bankroll required for 1/2 NL.
