I know exactly what you mean. I am in the biggest downswing of my life. I had been playing winning poker at the 30s and 50s for about 2 years, but over the past 3 weeks, I have been running really bad.
Over my last 300 SNGs:
ITM: 12%
ROI: -9.5%
Avg finish: 5.6

I've been taking tons of 4ths and 3rds. Has that been your problem too? I only have 8 wins in my last 300. Cold cards, bad beats, ect...I have been playing the same way over the past 2 years. But lately, it seems that everytime i go all-in, i am expecting to lose, so 2 and 3 outers dont even bother me anymore.

My solution on how to get out of the rut is to just take a few days off. Let those bad beats and crap cards get out of your head. Come back a few days later with a clean slate.(At least I am hoping that will work)
