How can I tell if i am just in a downswing or just playing bad. I have lost the last 62 45man and 90man 25c SNG's. I havent played a ton around 100 games which isn't a ton but i'm just wondering how to tell.
Are you good at statistics and math? If you are then you can start by running it manually and discover your winning frequency however if you can not recall how many tournaments did you play you can just use a website many are available online they will show you your winning vs losses down to the last hand.How can I tell if i am just in a downswing or just playing bad.

It does sound like your on a downswing but is there more to it. You need to look over you play over that last amount of games played and be honest with your self. Be brutally honest to be honest. Many times when I am not doing well I see mistakes in my game. Also when this is happening make sure you not suddenly taking bad risk or playing tighter to just end to loosing streak. I have had multable 30 to 40 no cash streaks and 42 was my worst in my playing carrier. There have been time it was just bad luck and running bad. There were more where it was something I was doing wrong. Be honest with yourself.

Seems it was turbo/hyper speed SnGs for micro. Average, say, 15% prize pool.
So an average chances of getting into prizes are, I think, near :
Pro player 30% + (62 SNG*30%=18+ times in prizes)
Amateur player 20%+ (62*20=12+ in prizes)
Weak player about 10% (62*10=6 in prizes)
Seating out player 0% (62=0)
Based on above it is possible situation of a downswing for a weak player (don't take it personally, please).
Hope it will help you a little to improve your skills and position.
Have a good luck, hope you will.
