well guys as u know i made a post a few weeks back askin what i should do with a £120 roll . after thinkin it thro i decided to play 4nl , this went well untill this weekend were i lost a lot i started the weekend with around £240 and today my roll stands at £103 
, i did play some £10 heads up and lost them all *(was probley around £60)*, and the rest went on 4nl :S , now i realy enjoy playin 4nl but with this little roll i can no longer play that level multi tabling 9 at a time . i feel i could carry on doing it if i wasnt runnin as bad as i am , its makein me scared to play my normal style of game bcoz i am gettin hands cracked left right and center , i have also noticed am makin a few mistakes here and there , i also dont want to play any less than lets say 7 tables bcoz i find i get bored fast and start playin all kinds of hands, so now am back asking u guys once again what u think i should do and how long do these bad runs last haha i started today thinkin all would be better but got off to a bad start, am thinkin maybe play 4 cash tables and 4 to 6 double ur moneys at 60p or a £1 :S..... tbh i just feel lost and realy have no idea what to do
forgot to ask .. what do u guys think about short stacking 4nl???

Play 4-6 tables instead of your usual 9 and if it dosnt start too well drop it down a bit.
Main thing i would say though is to not panic and be trying to get it all back too quickly.
Just play solid and the variance will iron itself out.
Good luck.

ive lost a bit of motivation myself at nl4 and it usually comes when the losing streak kicks in. theres no telling how long it will last but if you let it play on your mind then you will make more mistakes.
you still have enough to rebuild, the game will always be there even if you take a few days away.
i wouldnt advise short stacking tbh, you do miss out on a lot of value
with just over £100 and with confidence low,i would play a few micro dym,s probably £1.for a few days.
this will take you away from your normal cash playing and it should help you.
i went through the same thing and it certainly worked 4 me.
you never know,you might even win more playing dym,s and end up staying there. lol
i did.!!!
gl m8,
i know you will come back even stronger after this little downswing.

A -8 buy-in session is to be expected every now and then. Try to limit them by setting yourself a target for how long you're going to play and a stoploss limit. Set yourself a goal of playing 9 tables for 4 hours. When you hit that time stop. Don't quit early if you are way up, don't keep going if you are down and if you ever end up down £20 at NL4 then stop playing for the day.
I've been in this place before and it sucks. You keep doing the same thing as you have always done and instead of making money hand over fist like before, you just bleed money everywhere. Unlike most other sports or hobbies the trick is to just keep doing what you've always been doing, not to try and change up.
Stay away from the heads up SnGs in future. They are a very specific skill and the varriance alone requires you to learn a whole new zen-like anti-tilt psychology
Bad runs are part of the game, when they happen to me i just cut back on the number of tables, drop down a level etc....every person deals with bad runs differently but if you stop enjoying the game maybe have a few days off?
