Have you been keeping track of your wins the whole time? Do you have any idea what your BB/hour or BB/100 hands is? Your standard deviation? If you know these numbers you can calculate the probability you will go through a downswing of X bets over a certain amount of time or hands.
From the few limit-poker posts I have seen on here, you seem to not value-bet well and push small edges. If you throw in a little tilt, you might not be beating the game.
Part of the problem is when you are winning, and you are dumping bets because you are playing too loose, you are not winning, you are losing. If you dump when you are ahead, then you aren't going to beat the game for much, if it all, because you need those lucky streaks and need to maximize your value when you have them, not just piss the money away because you are running good.
The swings in limit poker are huge. I've gone through multiple 250 BB swings, one time over the course of two days. 300 BB is not enough if you want to play at a limit full time like as your job and what not. If you can put money back in, 300 BB should be fine.
I don't know if your game has changed at all since Greg's, but I posted what I had observed from your live play on there. There were a couple pretty big leaks, I remember.
