Jimske, you obviously play a decent game, as opposed to simply talking up a good one.  Good numbers on those strike rates; keep monitoring them, and try your best to stay above the Mendoza line.

Look, we're all heroes when the current table results are skewed toward are favorite plays; we're all goats when they're not.

So what can we do?

Well, when we're heroes, that part is rather simple.  Get your money and git while the gittins' good.

When we're playing the part of the goat, we need to either a.) no-bet or b.) bet small.  In other words, we need to go into damage control mode.  Limiting our losses in those "goat" periods is just as important as how much we make in those "hero" periods, if not even more so.

This is not a very difficult game.  It is US, as players, WE are the ones that make it difficult.

We all need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and then really think about what it is that makes us win.  Then think about what makes us lose.  Then LEARN TO RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE.

By doing so, you'll learn to minimalize your losses.  The wins will take care of themselves if you've any real "game" at all, but it is the losses that we must learn to control.

That done, this game is, relatively, easy pickings.

Stay consistent, stay in control of that which, well, frankly, that you can control, and don't allow greed to get the better of your table judgments.

And win more often, frankly, much more often, than you lose.  That is paramount.
