I have been running badly lately and it is starting to affect my confidence. I think I am playing pretty bad.

This okay?

Edit: $1.50+0.25 18 player turbo on stars, around 10 or 11 players left

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB (t2510)
UTG (t5175)
Hero (t2010)
Button (t1640)
SB (t4920)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A, Q.
1 fold, Hero raises to t600, 1 fold, SB raises to t1000, 1 fold, Hero raises to t2010, SB calls t1010.

Flop: (t4220) 6, 8, 9 (2 players)

Turn: (t4220) J (2 players)

River: (t4220) 4 (2 players)

Final Pot: t4220

I hate committing 600/2000 = 30% of my stack preflop without getting it all in. If you are flat called the pot will be bigger than your stack. Just shove it preflop. His min reraise is suspicious, I probably shove it as played though.
I take it he had AJ here?

Just ride out the bad luck, I've been through periods recently where I seem to lose every race, every 4:1, every 70:30 (although you always think it's worse than it is)
What goes around comes around. Take a break for a couple of days, come back and refocus and all will be fine.

Agreed. Sounds like you got a little gun-shy as a result of your bad run. You absolutely have to push there.

Open shove, and running bad happens to everyone. Just keep your head on straight and keep making the right plays. Regression to the mean will happen.
