Default I finally hit 300BB (abs. no content)

I didn't think it could be done, but I've finally run into a 300BB downswing. Currently at -325 at the 20/40 limit. 3 days, 8K hands. Losing at a rate of 4.3 per 100. I don't know what is wrong. Some tilt is involved (without a doubt). Some excessively agro play. Some reluctance to fold. Additionally, 5 outers have been destroying me on the river. I've only had 2 other big downswings and both of those were 250. One was my intro to 15/30, the other was when other [censored] in my life was not going well. There is no external cause this time. In fact, the loss isn't even having that great an effect on me, but it frustrates me. You know the feeling, it feels like it is impossible to win a hand. I had a guy go from HU AI on a 8642 board - me with TT he with 76, to him having about $500 of my money. I had another guy HU him in the BB with 76s, me in MP with AJ on a A92r board. He calls down to hit a flush and chk/rz me on a jack river. Also had a guy who flops TPTK when I flop trips - 3way capped every street and he catches runner runner boat (getting to 2pair first). Of course there was one "fcuk it" moment where I hit the bet/raise button on every single table, however, that actually worked out well. Frustrating 3 days. Gonna go play live, see if that changes things.

Here's a hand I played against you:

Loose, passive player limps in MP and I complete the small blind with Q8s. You raise in the BB. MP calls, I call.

Flop comes K-Q-T rainbow and I have a 3-flush. I check, you bet, MP calls, I call.

Turn is a T. I check, you bet, MP calls, I fold. MP has ~2 BBs left.

River is a 5. You bet, MP raises all-in and you call. You showed A5o and lost to AT.

They always do involve tilt. I don't know if this will make you feel better, i had a -15k day yesterday between 30-60, 50-100, and 100-200. Thats like 250 BB in my "normal" 30-60 game. Just start each day fresh man, they have no bearing on each other. We both know you are a winner in that game, so just keep playing winning poker, the rest works itself out.

I was just thinking about this tonight:
- start each hand fresh
- start each day fresh

I don't know about you, when I do something this blatantly tilt-induced, I take a break for the rest of the day.. or at least a couple hours.
