Moving on..... down?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, this month has been somewhat disappointing on the cash tables.  There are of course elements of bad play, everyone in the micros is making mistakes and trying to learn from them!  However, when combined with a period where you aren't running so well your bankroll can take a bit of a hit.  While I'm still rolled very comfortably for 16NL I am considering moving down to rebuild my confidence a bit and really plug any leaks I find.  I know that you shouldn't be concerned with your ev line too much, they aren't the only measure of how you're running, to illustrate the point, here are a few hands today that were just really frustrating with how the board ran out:

Coupling this with running over $100 below ev and I''m just having a shocker, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to pull this one back!  Still, better keep on practicing and studying, I'll get there eventually.
