and then all the games turned bad but I couldn't leave despite knowing full and well the games were bad. So I got stuck worse

This indicates a discipline problem that goes beyond "simple" variance. Game selection should be a big part of any winning player's edge, and that includes the discipline to leave a formerly good game gone bad when you are stuck. The net is too big and there are too many tables available even at lower levels to play on bad tables.

And you also should have the discipline to take care of your bankroll and drop down when on a losing streak to re-evaluate your game and not damage your roll severely even if you aren't playing bad.
