Get more aggressive and play more hands. Way way more hands.
Good luck

Folded to river bet seems high.
AF seems low.

Oh yeah, did I mention... 888 hands is NOTHING!

This could be just a bad run.

You'd be better served to post a few hand where you lost multiple big bets.

your stats look fine, and 888 hands is a pretty small sample size. Where do you lose big ? Do you overplay overcards where the flop doesn't hit you ?
What are your worst losing starting hands ?

Funny that someone mentioned folded to river bet is high, yet I'm only winning 34% of showdowns, which would indicate I'm not folding nearly enough.

I guess I'm just running bad and overreacting. Still I'm at the point where losing 300 bucks in two days is a big deal and I'm really disheartened. I sat down 20 minutes ago and said to myself "I'll play this one table and I'll play perfectly" and I lost 80 bucks on stuff like losing king high flush to ace high flush on a heads up hand and getting kings cracked by QJ on the river, etc.

I'll be back with some hands after I dig around in PT a bit

Actually you're a bit backwards here as the combination of those two numbers would suggest that you are folding the best hand too often.

If this is really a big deal to you then you probably shouldn't be playing 2/4. (A) You shouldn't be looking at it in terms of $$$, especially when you're at the tables. (B) Last week I had two seperate -50BB sessions (300-400 hands/session). To be down 75BB in 900 hands isn't that uncommon.

I don't understand why you wouldn't think this every time you sit down regardless of how many tables you're playing?
