Man, My Last 182,000 Hands have really Sucked.

If you could lose less in the BB you'd be up a ton. Shorthanded play helps with this.

(.16) should be reasonable to achieve.

Yeah, I worked out that if instead of (.28) I was at (.20), I would have roughly an extra $10k in my pocket right now during this hand sample.

I've read Abdul, I've read Pohl, I've read all the 2+2 books, I've read The CardsSpeak blog regarding blind defense, along with various other random 2+2 posts (reading this one as I write this) and Google searches.

Does anyone have suggestions on definite solid reading regarding this stuff? All that I've read so far is certainly useful information, but I'm pretty risk-averse, and can't really envision positive results given the fact that when I currently "defend" I rarely hit the flop at all, not even bottom pair, and when I do I'm getting wicked play-back against me.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, although I'm thinking the post I linked to above has some pretty convincing stuff so far.

Thanks.

Why not play some 3/6 6-max? Experience is the best teacher.
