Hypers- overrated as a source of making a profit playing poker?

Okay, so I have dabbled with HU hypers for some time now. Thought I had it all worked out, bought some of the packs from this site, studied the material, watched the vids over and over and formed a preflop strategy  for both SB and BB at all blind levels covering every possible scenario. I studied the population tendencies too and formed a game plan for that also. So after 4 months of intensive studying and playing ( 6500 games) nothing there should be some reasonable expectations about seeing some progress as speaking, however this is far from the case. I just keep losing and losing and that goes for all BI from 1.50 to 7. Of course you need to crawl before you can walk, fair enough, but the losing runs I experience goes beyond my wildest imaginations, and the worst part is that I can´t see where I am going wrong - even when I hold the better hand for every AI and have read my opponents hands correct I still seem to lose an alarmingly big percentage of hands that I really shouldn´t according to the math. I am in disbelief at the moment regarding the potential of this format and wonder if it´s all just variance due to bad luck.Right now it just feels like I am a victim of my opponents luck rather than their actual.I know that luck or coincidence is always going to be a part of the equation in these games, but how did you guys overcome this mental hurdle and how long did it take you to become profitable in Hypers?

to be perfectly honest it

to be perfectly honest it sounds like you might have some fundamental leaks in the game that you are just not seeing in your own game

it could be from misunderstanding a concept to focusing to heavily on 1 or 2 concepts and not the "whole game" allround

i would suggest some coaching probably like 5-10 game reviews (i have never taken coaching but it seems this could be for you)

or some time off to gather all the knowledge you have of hypers into 1 collective thought not a focalized thought on particular concepts
