Hello run it once community. Recently, poker has been very brutal and I've been losing at a crazy amount. Prior to this I was a decent winner winning decently, had my share of bad beats and stuff but I would be able to overcome them and still win. But for maybe 2 weeks now I've been getting absolutely smashed, I think im losing somewhere between 10-20 bb/100 its quite embarrassing.

First off, let me say I'm not a results orientated person, like those people that get mad when they fold 92 when the flop came 992. I'm also not someone who likes to blame variance and stuff, even if I think I ran bad during a session I always go back through poker tracker and re evaluate all of the big hands and always look to improve my game. And even though poker has been brutal recently I still LOVE poker.

Now, I'm still kind of a beginner. So I was wondering how long is a typical downswing and how much do people lose during a downswing? Does it sound like I'm having a downswing? If I was playing in a stake where I had a big edge in, what would my losing rate be if I was on a downswing? If I'm not on a downswing, what are some things I can do to make myself play better and stop losing? I can take a downswing and if i know I'm having a downswing im okay with that but I'm worried I'm playing bad.

I would really appreciate some feedback and help, thank you guys! :)

Merry christmas and happy new years to all.
