If you have PTO, then you should also look at how much you win on certain type of hands and how much you win/lose by position.
It is quite common to have sessions where you feel you don't have any control over the game, none of your moves work out, you finally flop something and everyone instantly folds, etc. It can be very hard to determine to which extent this is due to you not catching at the right times and to which extent it is your play. In a session like that you should adapt a bit, but you shouldn't become gunshy, or take on wild gambles to turn things around. If you're in the middle of such a session and you don't see huge donators at the table I suggest you just leave the game and go over your session.
One more thing (I'll address the other points later, I'm off to a conference for the weekend): the shorter the table, the more these phenomena get aggrevated. I sometimes play SH for hours without picking up a decent pot, only to win a 3way allin pot at the end of the session. It's the nature of the game, especially if you play a TAG game (as you should). If you're uncertain about certain fundamentals, I really recommend playing FR for a while, since you don't have to worry about game dynamics as much.
