Can you give me an example of some marginal +EV plays that you have found that I might be missing?

Just from your numbers it's hard to say, but I would guess that there have to be a fair number of hands you fold where you don't have the best hand after the flop or a draw to the nut hand, but you do still have pot odds to make it worthwhile continuing. Off the top of my head, likely suspects include some overcard hands, middle pairs with a good overcard or other drawing hands.

Small PP hands (22-66) are interesting but tricky. With your VIP as low as it is I imagine you fold most of those preflop.

I think when you hit a bad run (I've had several in my 25k 1/2 hands, frustrating as hell but I've really sharpened my game because of them) you'll take a hard look at your game and find that the hands and situations you play are not quite enough for a consistent good win rate.
