Default Starting over?

Would you? Could you? If so where and how? I'm gonna be honest here I have lost a significant amount gambling in the past 3-4 months. Keep that in the context that it is bankroll I have built and lost, still my money, but it's not like I am running up credit card bills or selling blood or anything like that.

Really thought I was getting better but recently the bad beat/questionable play has cost me the max it could I think. I didn't tilt anything away, I didn't play outside my bankroll, perhaps I got too agressive playing against the low limit players, I don't know.

What I do know is I need to start over or quit. I just finished my 10th straight SNG out of the money, a couple bad beats, a couple hands I couldn't get away from, chased a flush one time for my stack, etc.....

I keep my gambling money seperate from everything else in my life, I have withdrawn money over the past year to pay for things around the house I just didn't want to put on credit of I didn't have to (new furnace, car repairs, bought the kids a watch dog, etc....).

After going on a bender with NCAA and NFL football this past weekend (we all saw how that turned out) my sportsbetting bank is in a bit of trouble. Maybe I tried to make up for poker losses by betting too much on that side of things, again, I don't know.

I also keep the poker money seperate from other things and don't/won't move money from sportsbetting bank to that one. I even tried playing $5 SNG's for a couple days just to try to get some kind of momentum back, that didn't help. So let's say just for example your poker roll went under $1000 where would you go and what would you play to build it back up?

Would you start over? Could you?

Or should I just play it out and if I go bust go get some real job or something? (another Rounders reference Pshabi won't get?
