What am I doing wrong?

These next four hands are typical of the vicious short term
losing streaks (generally covering 10 to 15 hands , including the ones I dont play).
What usually happens is weird. I will be going along fine, playing tight aggressive, taking notes , winning a little, then bam. Over the next 10 or 15 I will be dealt 5 or six very good hands, all in proper position and almost all you can raise from any position, so I do.
I swear I am not exaggerating when I say I lose over 90 percent of these hands after flopping either ahead or with strong draws or both. I lose to people hanging around with
small unconnected ofsuits, or one over card or something.
I have played about 10000 hands give or take(probably a little more).
Is this bad luck or is there something I am repeatedly doing which costs me so much of my bank roll every time one of these losing streaks hit.
After all this time I am almost totally even, maybe 5$ up.
Yet before each of these ,satan series of deals, I will be as much as 100 up.
If anyone can help me identify the huge flaw in my game and how I can improve it , I will be most appreciative.
Oh , I have SSH and reread it constantly. I cannot find anywhere in it where it suggests I am making any huge errors here. So it would be more helpful if someone would point out the errors here rather than just suggest I read a book.

This is a loose passive game.
