Default why does poker hate me?

so after coming from 5 buy ins down to 1 1/2 up.

I AM NOW FREAKIN 6 BUY INS DOWN

how does this happen you ask.... well lets just say I dont know, I play bad I guess when I raise under the gun and get a caller... get a 235 from c-bet hit my straight on the turn and find out F'er called with 56 for the higher straight.
Or how bout the other time where I have AA and dude goes all in with a gut shot and FREAKIN hits..... ok so Im totally tilter down the most I've ever been and having a really hard time dealing with it... I have $370 in my account now and guess Im gonna have to drop down to 10NL soon... I just dont understand WTF im doing wrong... maybe it was just a bad day... hopefully tomorrow will be better. I just cant believe the beats I took...

oh yeah heres another raise UTG with KK get called my K10... flop come 2 10 9 rainbow... turn 9... river 10

bet hard the whole way but had to fold to the river 10 losing 1/2 a stack....
I'm really having a hard time with all this. I'm waiting to see where the percentages start freakin working in my favor...

ok done with my rant no reason to respond... see you at the tables... haven't given up yet.... ok maybe I could use a couple words of encouragement.

keep plugging away at it pad you will get there. Do yoy have poker tracker?

If so can you post your stats (only if you don't mind people seeing them of course), and your positional stats as well. Maybe there is something we, as a group, can look at and see if there are any glaring leaks or something. You may just be on a downswing that will turn around, and the hands you described appear to be coolers (I dont get the 235 hand though: was a bit confusing to read)

HI. Just try to stay calm and come back playing when you are at your best. If tilt close all tables at once. Try to stay away from raising evenEV hands in early position. play more attention to your opponents reraising you on dry flops when you have overpair. 80% it means set or 2p. Try to choose tables more carefully, make notes on your opponents and goto NL25 for regaining confidence in your play. And sure can post your stat so we can check it and try to help you out.
I've been through this downswing 2 days ago, like 7 buy-ins down within one day, the next 2 days 12 buy ins up.
Just play your best and numbers will catch you

Stop calling raises from the sb w/ 97 off after one coldcaller and then making spewy 3/4 pot bluffs on the river with your missed draws. You "liberated" about 1/3 buyin on this hand alone.
