Also it's only 20K. It happens. You were probably running well before and now you're running bad. Just make some gradual improvements pf and post some hands in which you makes some marginal folds and play passively with tpnk/sp or worse type hands.
Thanks for the comments Leader. I appreciate it. I have gone back to your starting chart and realized the worse I was running, the more I was tightening up, and the more passive I was becoming. I started questioning every move and MUBS had officially overtaken me. I am on the road to recovery, but it will be a long process.

Loosen up in every position a little bit... Co-blinds. As you move up, you can go even looser and more aggro due to the lesser rake.
My ATSB has been shrinking because of me assuming every hand will be get beaten. It is a horrible thought process to go through. You really have to emotionally detach yourself from this game to be really good at it. For those of you that play for a living, I don't see how it is possible.
Obv, a very small sample size, but for 350 hands, I played 29/19/14. Of course I lost, but for the first time, I felt like I was making the correct decisions. All of my big hands got cracked, but I didn't really care. I knew I had played the hand correctly.

also I see your cbets from the BB are very aggressive in comparison to the other positions. Do you 3bet just your premiums? against a SB stealer you should 3bet 35% or so and against a BTN... well it depends on how do you plan your blind defense you can no 3bet any hand or 3bet wider range than just premiums (maybe 20% - 25% should be fine against most buttons stealer).
Admittedly, I am not very strong in BvB and I don't frustrates me. Therefore, I am going to try more game creation to get more comfortable with it. Right now vs a button raise, I am 3 betting 77+, A5s, A9o, KTs, KJo, QTs, QJo and every once in a while JTs, depending on the button stats. My CBET from BB after a 3 bet is 100%.
Thanks to all three of you for taking the time to help. I really appreciate it and will post another set of stats at the 10,000 hand mark.
