Any advice?
What to do when u constantly run under EV every single session u play? 5-6 buyins sometimes lower sometimes more i just cant hold my equity even if my life depends on it lol.I play 8-10k hands a day and every start of session i lose 10ish buyins due to bad luck and then 2-3 buyins if im already down 5-6 cuz of bad play tilt....This was legit my last week i started playing in the morning and ended up almost every day at evening where i was break even or 1-2 buyin down....i feel commited to get back the money taht i lost even tho that might be bad thing im rly proud of myself everytime i manage to grind back the money and not going full spew mode...i know its variance but how come 1 month i have 10bb/100 120k hands in NL25 and next month im down -4bb/100 in 100k hands and then next month im again around 5-6 bb/100 over same sample i just feel like im playing super well if things are going my way where i dont get suckouted to often,but when i do i cant seem to control myself.Edit also forgot to mention i play 8-10k hands ONLY when im losing,if i have a winning session im kinda bored after i reach certain point of +buyins which is also one of my problems.

You should do some more research about variance, 100k hands is actually not that much, you can run bad for 1M hands, u will never lose over that sample if u're a decent winner, but wr can differ quite a bit, so keep grinding, move down if needed.
1)Cut down volume, improve quality ( either play less hours, or less tables)
start of session i lose 10ish buyins due
2) That's just poker and memory, if you cant handle swings, gonna be tough to have good results
i feel commited to get back the money
3) Not good attitude (2nd again)
4) possible you are, still gotta improve more and clearly your mindset isn't at top level. So that will affect your strategy.
Sorry for quoting you, but hope that critic will be helpful. Cheers!
There's something off in your affirmation.
You can't start a session and autolose 10 BIs.
My assuption is that you are biased a lot. Best thing you can do is to research variance and aknowledge the fact that you aren't that unlucky. Now your brain believes that you are curse which is quite improbable, so if you can gather the facts that you don't it will help.
If you have PT4 I've made a report for you so you can check how's the difference between BB won and BB AI Adjusted. Yes it isn't the bigger picture but it should help

I don't play long session but I don't see any feel any huge anomaly (300k hands)
Filtered by difference (in my favour)
Filtered by difference (against me)
Also, I want to point out in a friendly way, that if you come here and make this statements chances are miss poker as a big picture. This lack is crucial, because imho you can't play super well and don't understand variance or poker in general.
That's good though, you can learn, as we do, there's no shame to lack in something.
In my experience, and even psychology is pretty clear about that, people whines to much about anything and overvalue their abilities.
Best of luck obv
As an exercise, try re-writing your original post as an unattached, non-judgmental, outside observer. After reading that back, what advice would you give yourself?
Also, what are you doing to work on your mental game? By your own admission you're losing 2-3 buy-ins per session on pure tilt. Even if that's a massive exaggeration, there is no technical study you can do that will make up that difference. Go all-in on working on your mental game, there it will make all the difference in the world on your long-term results, not to mention your quality of life.
