Lost 2 more big hands again tonight. Down 3 stacks overall on the session so far. I am officially approaching the ZERO mark from whence I started this project. If I actually hit it, I may have to rethink whether or not I actually have enough fun playing anymore to make it worth my while to keep playing online poker. Because I could very easily at this moment just withdraw all my remaining BR and put it towards something that I KNOW I would enjoy, like a Home Theater. I am just soooo disgusted and discouraged right now. I know some of the problem very well could be me but I also know that I am not the only reason for my losing streak. There is a LOT of bad luck involved and it just does not stop. Considering how much time I put into playing almost every night after work, I really could be doing something else that would provide more pleasure. Goddammit I am so pissed right now I would scream if it wouldn't wake up the family.

This one isn't a bad luck example. Rather just another episode of me getting CR'd for the BAZILLIONTH time this month and being in a position where I don't feel like I can fold.

I have SUUUCH a hard time reraising with TT. Seems like every time I do it, and the flop comes down with over cards, I get bet into, then chicken out and fold. (obv, not what happened this hand) Other than not reraising PF, did I make other mistakes here?

Was I wrong to push the turn? Did I stand to make more money by betting say 2/3 pot even though that would leave me basically pushing or calling regardless of the river?

Not sure at all if I played this correctly or not. When I checked the river, I was fully prepared to call any bet he made and go crying to mommy if he had me beat. But I figured if there was any chance he would check behind then I stood to save some money if he did have me beat and I didn't have to call.

In the 122 hands I played with this guy, he had a vpip of 53% and a pfr of 20.4%. I had seen him call my raises PF with Q6s, and J5o. He is same villain from hand 1 above. Why do sessions have to end this way?

Of course, the last hand above had to make me finish below even for the session after all my hard work to rebound from the horrible start I had.
