Frustration sets in

After 725 hands of pokering (need 1500 hands to claim 150 dollars), I am down 30 dollars..

I played really well today, well, at least until the last 10 minutes.. I made really good laydowns as well as raises/reraises when I sensed weakness.. I think I picked up at least 60 dollars just on raise and reraising ppl with nothing..

So how did I end up losing?

Here we go..

I was up about 100 overall.. and i was thinking to myself, after like 500 hands I still havent flopped a set.. be careful what you wish for..

6-handed, .5/1..

I limp with 55, everyone folds to BB, who raises to 4 dollars, I call, Flop is AQ8 os, and BB leads out betting 2 dollars.. normally I'd fold to any bet on that flop but he bet 2 dollars into 9 dollars pot.. so I figured he might either be asking for a raise or just a A/weak or KQ.. I might be able to outplay him later.. so I called.. Turn was a beautiful 5!! he bet 10 dollars and I cold called, now I hope he hit AQ or something and was slowing playing it by betting 2.. and river was blank.. HE WENT ALL IN AT ME!! This was for like 40 more.. Could I have folded? I dunno.. anywayz, I called and he turned over 88.. Higher set.. yuck..

A bit later in another table.. I had Q8s, limped, Flop came 6s 7s 9x, I bet into 3 ppl with my flush/straight draw, 2 guys called, turn was a 5, I made my straight, I bet the pot (15 dollars), one guy called.. The river was like Ace of Spade, I made 2nd best flush, I bet 20 dollars.. He raised 20 more.. I was like SHIT.. called and he showed Ks Js.. GAY!

Both table I was actually big stacked, like 130 or something on both table (started with 50)..

On the same table a few hands later.. I call a raise of 3 dollars with TT, flop is T Ace Ace!!! I flopped a boat and he checked to me!! So i figured he either has nothing or he is slowplaying an Ace.. so I bet the pot as if I had a T.. he cold called, turn was a KING! he led out betting 10, now I know he has an ace.. but IS HE THAT LUCKY TO 3 out the KING?!.. I decided to just call him to the river.. he bet 15 on the river and showed AK.. How GAY is that?!

After these three pots, I was down 30 dollars.. I won a big pot, went back up to 30 dollars (120 dollars pot).. until I was about to end my session.. I pick up K6 s in BB, checked, flop came 2 spades with Ace of spades, he bet low, I call, turn came a 4, the board was something like Ace 3 4 x, he bet 5 dollars, I semi-bluffed 10 dollars more, he reraised me 10 dollars more!! I should've just folded here, I put him on 2 pairs or a set, but I figured for 10 dollars more if I catch my flush, implied odd is pretty big (my remaining 30 dollars.).. the river was empty.. he checked to me.. I MADE THE WORST PLAY OF THE DAY!! I bluffed my 30 dollars into him for some odd reason, he calls and turns over 2/5, the nut hand..

Ok, now that was bad .. could've still made profit but I had to do a stupid bluff..
More like Frustrated..

The only good thing that came out of today was that I did exactly 300 hands in 1.5 hrs 3-tabling.. that means 200 hands per hr.. now that is pretty good..
