Default almost in the 300bb club

decided i wanted to learn to play lhe (mostly play NLHE/PLO/7stud) again. Only played live LHE up till now. This is mostly 2/4 and 3/6 which is way below my BR but still driving me nutso. That last dip wasn't tilt I swear to god.

-2.5BB/100 is harsh

Is this 6max or full ring? 6max has some harsh swings...

Yea, I hear ya.... I've been playing for 2+ years now, and this is the first time I've been this close to a 300bb slide. It sucks.

Yeah. This is over the course of a few months. I just a play few hundred hands here and there and then review my sessions, reading SSHE and so forth. Just to try and make poker fun again (play 25-30k hands of my other games a month); learning a new game (i think LHE is undoubtedly the most sustainable poker variant being widely spread and I feel foolish not having played much of it). I didn't even realize how far down I was until I decided to pokergraph my LHE db this morning. WOH! I really suck. I'm sure a lot of this is variance since I've been playing 4 to 6 handed almost exclusively but it's clear I'm not a winning player at these limits yet, which is downright hard on the ego.

Of my main game 6max NL? It's about 75ish hours 3-tabling. I try to play 20hours a week but sometimes I play more.

given the stakes you play, the # of hands and that graph, its fiarly likely you are a marginal winner or breakeven or losing player at those stakes.
