Oh So Bad!

So this is the way it's gonna be. I managed to drop $75 yesterday playing .25 NL and it wasn't hard. This is the way it went down.

Hand #1. I pick up QJos and call. The flop comes A-K-10 rainbow. I flopped the nut straight. I raise to $2 and get raised to $4. I'm thinking the guy must have trips so I call. The turn is the 2C. I raise to $4 and get raised all in. I call. The river is the 6C. My opponent flips over QJ of clubs. GG me. He went runner-runner to beat me out of a huge pot.

Hand #2. I pick up KK in late position and raise to $2 like I always do with big hands. I get one caller. The flop comes 6-K-2 with two diamonds. I bet $2 and get called. The turn is a 9H. I raise to $5 and get reraised all in. I call and the river is a 10D. My opponet flips over 8-9 of diamonds. GG me. He called his whole stack off on a flush draw.

Hand #3. I pick up A-J of clubs and raise to $2. I get called and the flop comes A high. I raise to $4 and get called. The turn brings me a J. I'm feeling pretty good about the hand right now as my stack had built from $25 up to about $40 and the guy calling me had more than $50. I raise to $15 and get reraised all in. I call and he flips over KK when I think is good until the river brings his two outer and GG me.

I don't know if I'm playing these hands badly or just running bad at the moment. I couldn't lose on Monday when I built the PartyPoker BR up to $212. Now it's down to $60. Oh well. I'll just keep on grinding.
