Re: My losing streak wins!!
Bob,
I'm really surprised to see this happen to you.
I think others have covered the main points, so I don't really have any advice as far as your actual play goes.
However, I'm confident that you're on the path to success as you are willing to step down, reevaluate, and admit your shortcommings. Being overly proud can be especially bad for a poker player. After doing quite a bit of sweating of the Party 2/4 BBJ games, I'm quite sure you must have a positive expectation here. Just grind it out, and unless you're tilting, you'll be fine.
Since you have two months of living expenses saved, have you considered taking several weeks to a month off? I don't know if you are experiencing burnout (possibly leading to tilt), but taking time off really helped me during previous poker funks.
From my own recent experience of stepping down, I've enjoyed it so far, and have started to rebuild some confidence after an aweful swing (addmittedly, not nearly as bad as yours.) I would be surprised if you don't say the same thing in a month or two.
