Running Bad

Played some what better today however still lost some big pots and managed to lose 2 buy-ins over 643 hands. I'm torn between moving down to 50nl now and continuing @ 100nl until either i improve or drop 3 more buy-ins.

4 significant hands:

hand1
villian was 80/24/1.7 I have to listen to my instincts more... just before pushing i thought i should just call. but his stats were so off the charts that i thought i might be good.

UTG+2 ($119.17)
MP1 ($104.30)
MP2 ($126.60)

hand 4
villian was 63/1.75. This is another case where i could use some turn aggression. I think my decision to chk the turn would be ok agains a solid player but against this guy i should've bet again. Compounding the problem I called his bet on the river... just a donk move.
