Resetting the System

When it rains it pours. I keep hearing volume is the key, but I keep getting bad beat to death. In the 15K, I ran into a bit of bad luck as usual. Got it all in preflop with KK against AA and lost. Stayed on life support for as long as I could and had to ram QJ with a M of 5 ran up against 1010, and lost the race of course. In the 12K, IDK, it always seems to me everytime I get something going then I take that one beat which is fine when I have chips, I never get anything to play and or nothing ever holds up after that one point. I got it all in pre with a decent stack I was holding AK vs AQ and lost when the Q hit the river BUT I was still way above average, then I never saw anything above 8 high for an hour. I would try to creat my own luck on the button and blinds by 3betting but one of those days when I three bet I get someones whole stack in my face. I took a couple of chances with soooooted connectors, but never hit anything. Finally the M was down to 8ish, I usually dont even worry with my M until the later stages, but had too in these. I pick up AJ soooooooooooooooted in the BB, 3 limpers I bet the pot, guy in the middle calls. Flop AJ4, I beat he calls. Turn 9 I go all in, he hesitates then calls, flips over Q10 off, lol, river 8 good game.

I feel like I am playing great, just nothing much to show for it. I guess I need to take another short break and do it again in a few days or something.

I know volume is the key, but variance is still kicking my assssssss.
