If my math and understanding are correct, that is an off-the-charts-insane amount of money coming off the table. For simplicity let's say 30 hands an hour are getting dealt, 5 are $60+, 4 are $50+, 6 are $30+, 10 are $20+ and 5 are $10+. That's 5x(6+3) + 4x(5+3) + 6x(3+3) + 10x(2+2) + 5x(1+1) = 45+32+36+40+10=$183 an hour coming off the table. Assuming the table is 9-handed, you're paying $20 an hour for the privilege of sitting at the table. So over 91 hours you've paid $1,820 to sit at the table and you're only down, what, $900? You're actually BEATING the game, you're just getting reamed by rake.
Keep in mind as well, 91 hours is only about 2700 hands which is a sample size of basically nothing. On average you should have been dealt aces I think 13 times in that span, kings about 13 times, not sure how many times you'd be dealt AK. Do the math and see how much your winrate would swing over 2700 hands if you'd been dealt those 9 or 17 times each instead of 13, and if you'd won 20% more than your fair share of those hands vs. 20% less.
I'm assuming you've read the SSHE book MULTIPLE TIMES and are applying it to your game.
Temper your expectations, because if you're rarely getting more than 4 people to the flop, there just isn't as much easy money to win in those games as when you're regularly getting 7.
Sorry if that was more negative than you were expecting but I hope you'll find it useful.
