Getting Connected

I have been playing poker for like 5 years now, but I am so out of the loop on "getting connected." I think I am reducing my overall profits and increasing my variance by not learning what other players are going through and getting in their minds. So I joined this forum to learn what things like 23/17 mean and find out how my professional counterparts are doing.

First off, I play everything from .50/1 to 25/50, depending on how I am running. And everything from stud h/l, omaha h/l, to NL Hold'em. With my style of play, I am either running really really good or really really really bad.

Right now I am running really really really bad. It feels like I can't win a hand. Although I preach it, I am far from being a grinder, at least when I have a roll. So when I run bad, it hurts. The other day I shoved all in on an 8 high flop with KK and got called by unsuited AJ and lost a $2500 pot. The pot was only $350 when I shoved. I begin to second guess myself and stop trying to make reads. I hate other poker players, God, and most of all the poker sites and its support staff. I really need to learn how to be a grinder...

Running bad sucks,

P.S. The one thing you learn when you are running bad is that you must have the best cards on the river to win the pot. Right now I have no idea how to get the best cards on the river.
