Where have all the good hands gone?

After Monday's incredible run the last couple of days have been less than spectacular. Tuesday I was down as much as $60 but worked my way back to -$15 and with bonus money I actually ended up +2 for the day. Wednesday was more of the same. I was -$55 and managed to work my way back to -$15 but then sucked it up at the end of the day for a -$30 loss. Made about $10 in bonus money so -20 for the day overall.

Looking back at my hands, I realized that the first few orbits of a table I seem to get too paranoid about people taking shots at me and think I'm being bluffed so I tend to call down more with mediocre hands when I'm reasonably sure I'm behind. I need to work on hand reading a bit more and knowing when the aggressive players have me beat.
