the reason you guys are throwing a hissy fit, is because I called your little Jesus savior on his weak bullshit.

There are like, dozens of these "so I ran bad, what's wrong" posts every month. Would you givethe same advice if it were not Nate or any of the other well respected posters? Wouldn't you be a little bored with the need for encouragement posts?

Reread Nate's post. That's actually not what it was about at all.

What worries me, though, is that to the extent I have technical leaks in my game (I’m aware of some non-technical leaks like game selection, and playing too long sessions),

I remember Mason saying (cant remember where I heard it) that once you get to a 'certain level', things like game selection and always playing your A game (which is related to not playing too long of sessions) become the most important skills to improving your bottom line.

Now, you're probably at a 'certain level' or very close to it. Have you considered giving these things more attention?

in I think Poker Essays I he puts in order the skills for the different games at different levels. I think that's where you might be getting it from

This is the same thing I thought when reading Nate's post, but wasn't sure how to say it without sounding like a jerk. I'll just be blunt and hope Nate won't it the wrong way:

When someone makes a post in which he casually talks about breaking his laptop by spilling a beverage on it while playing a marathon session of late night high limit while drinking alcohol, it does not come as a surprise to find out that doing that this behavior has resulted in a downswing. When he also says that he is bothered that he can only identify his "non-technical" leaks and not his technical ones, it seems pretty clear to me that he is putting way too much importance on the technical apsects of the game and way too limit on the "non-technical" ones, especially when he is someone who from his posts seems to have the best technical grasp of the game of anyone whose thoughts I've ever had the pleasure of reading or hearing.

You know, it's really funny to see a shitty player with as many massive leaks as you criticizing Nate here.
