After nearly a year of almost daily study and play I'm still a very slightly losing player. Thing is I used to notice where I'd lost cos of big mistakes and where I was just unlucky. I'm gradually cutting mistakes out my game but seem to just get unluckier. It now seems in my last 30ish tourneys (1.50 9-max SNGs on stars) I cash about one in five but get sucked out on in the other 4. Tight til I need to make a move, get all my chips in and am way ahead of single opponent and get drawn out on. Every time.
Everything I've read says if I keep going I'll make money eventually but it's tough. My $ev for a single tourney is almost always positive and usually above $1.50 (one buy-in).
Anyone else suffered this and come out the other side? Is there anything else I should be doing? I know I'm not the unluckiest guy in the world and if I just think that I definitely won't improve. Perhaps I'm just hitting an unlucky streak right about the time I'm becoming a solid, winning player but having never been that it's so hard to know. If you've never won consistently how do you know if you're unlucky or just not good enough?
Sorry this is a bit ranty and a vague question, the bad beats are just so disheartening.
