I played the $24k today and recorded my hands of note.  There were a ton since I doubled up early.  And then the bleeding began...  after an hour thirty, I was already back to average.
So, I took the hands to an  expert and friend of the ante-up nation, and we analyzed and reviewed and analyzed. 
And we found 2 MAJOR leaks in one afternoon.
The first was calling FTA or skipping a c-bet.  I did this WAY more than I suspected.
The second was giving up control of a hand, they trying to take it back. I would do thinks like CALL a raise, then lead out on the next street.  Oh sure, I had all these reasons...  But as we walked through the hands, I ALWAYS had a reason so I was doing it ALL THE TIME.  So bad.  Very similar to what Harrington called "dark tunnel bets".
Occasionally I made a cliche mistake, like betting where only a better hand calls, but mostly my bleeding was caused by the above.
What a relieve to see some light.
