It wasn't good

I managed to drop $46 yesterday thanks to getting stacked twice, once in .50 NL for $35 and once in $1 NL for $50. The one that really pisses me off is this hand:

I picked up JJ under the gun. I raise to $5 and only get one caller, who is to my immediate left. the flop is all low, really low. So I'm pretty sure the flop missed him. I bet $10 and he calls. The turn is another low card so I bet $15. He calls. The river is yet anther low card. I bet $20 hoping he had A-K or A-Q and had missed completely. Unfortunately for me, he goes all in and since most of my stack was committed, I called. He flipped over AA. GG Me. I don't really think I could've played that hand much worse. The hand reaffirmed that I am a bad poker player. And what really pissed me off about the hand was that I had increased my starting stack of $50 to $65 and was preparing to sit out after this hand. If I hadn't gotten JJ, I would've just folded and taken my profit 2 the SNG's.

So after that I was tilting a little and I went to a .50 NL table. I'm on the button and a guy in late position raises to $3. I'm on the button with A-Q so I went all in. He called and no help came 2 me so I got stacked again.

After that, I played in the $3,000 freeroll and busted out pretty early. It's limit hold'em and I wasn't in the right frame of mind to play it.

Then I went to a $1 NL full ring game and started with $100. Not very smart considering my frame of mind, but then again, I don't do a lot of smart things when it comes to poker. Any way, thanks to a couple of loose calls, I managed to win $29. This leaves me at $304 total.

The Pokerroom BR is at $304. That is down $296 from the start.
