It's completely normal to feel discouraged when you're just starting out in poker, especially when you're going through a losing streak. It sounds like you're putting in the effort to learn, which is great! You're right, variance is a huge factor in poker and even the best players experience losing streaks.
The good news is that it gets better! It takes time and dedication to become a balanced player, and even more to become a winning player. You are already on the right track if you study poker training, use a poker tracker, and dedicate time to learning.
Keep practicing, keep learning and don't be afraid to make mistakes. It's all part of the process. Remember, even the best poker players started out as beginners. Keep it up and you will eventually see improvement.
You mentioned you're losing £40 everywhere you play. It's a relatively small amount, so don't let this discourage you. Focus on the long game and keep learning. You will get there.

Don’t get discouraged. Study us important but the most important thing about learning is experience.
There is no formula, and I respect different approaches. I seriously doubt that I would be competitve beyond micro and low stakes without studying. Still, playing is the thing most prefered. Goes without saying. It is a rare thing to meet a solid winning player at even just $1/2 - $200 - who does not study. Those who don’t are in jeopardy of losing lotsa bucks. No GTO no payday to put it short.

I wonder how did it go.
