Had an absolutely shit house day today which involved dropping 5 buy ins. First significant downswing for a while. Things really kicked off when i got KK all in against a fucking raging donk with AK on a q5810 rainbow board for him to naturally bink the J on the river. After that it was just a ton of coolers and a bit of tilt from me which may have involved a bit of NL50 dabbling (luckily didn't drop any buy ins here). Overall after rakeback it was closer to a -3.5 buy in day so all is not lost.
My main issue is the fact that im not even beating nl20 at the moment. After a fairly significant sample of 17.5k hands im actually down $26 which is truely pathetic. Luckily for rakeback im net + about $160 but my intention is not to become a souless rakeback grinder. I've watched a few videos and seem to think my main leak at the moment is trying to play too fancy at nl20. At nl10 i was crushing for like 20bb/100 across an 18k sample. The simple solution i believe is to play similar to how i was playing at nl10. This basically involves tightening up a bunch and betting more for value on each street.
I might have a session now and the goal is to just play solid, not jizz tilt any buy ins with shit calls when i know im probably beat and not to try bluff donk stations. Be patient and let the cards come. Hopefully ill be able to atleast get back to even for nl20.

One of my biggest leaks is playing too fancy or thinking too deep for the fish at my stakes, which are similar to yours.
Solid poker is the way to kill these donkeys off.
I know people will disagree but I used to find the lower stakes much harder to beat. I don't play cash anymore as I'm not the most patient but I always found the play at $100NL to be much easier than $20 and $50
