One question, though: For example, on hand 1 with set vs. draw, I can push the flop. Realistically, I think $17 stack with AJ would've called, but I'm not sure about weaker jacks and stuff--probably depends on whether the guy is any good at all. In any case, I like the call better. The result is the same except that with my call line, I feel like I have higher probability of keeping the 3rd guy in. The guy who's pounding is obviously going to call anyway.
But one thing about the equity tally: If I push, my equity looks great. If I play it the way I did, I'm the one calling from behind. I've gotta have odds to fill up, since the pot is around 75, and it's 17 to call, and I'm somewhat less than 3:1 given the J in the mix, but I'm certainly better than 4:1.
In any case, if you just figure it from the all-in, then I'm behind and have very little equity. And I wonder if having the tally in the back of your mind can ever adversely influence your play... ?
Like in this case, I look much better if I lose having pushed the flop, since at that point, I'm close to 3:1 favorite. But the way the hand goes, I'm 3+:1 underdog.
But yes, your right about its evening out. This run is just really frustrating when I feel like I'm actually finally getting at least a bit the hang of 6max but keep going way down--after a no doubt lucky start, then a run with some tough hands that I misplayed and went down noticeably, now a run where I just can't seem to win a big pot regardless of what I have. And, true, most of these are coinflips, but I really don't think you can survive in 6max if you don't get aggro with coinflips--and, yes, they may call. But you're supposed to win half of them...

It'll turn around, but I'm really eager to get back to the 100s, and certainly don't intend to do so until I have a solid amount of $ won at the 50s. So, it's a frustrating delay.
