Solid determination, or poor bankroll management?

Last night I continued my stab at NL100 with a bankroll of $2400. Things started out well and then started to go very bad and I'm down 3 or 4 buyins before I know it due to a combination of coolers and not being able to fold AA/KK when I got hit by a set.

This didn't phase me at all. I'm completely used to dropping 3 buyins and then making it back and then some within the same session. In fact that's probably my most common pattern - get down 3 buyins, end up +1 or +2 buyins.

It then continued to get worse and worse until I was down over 7 buyins. However I was positive I was playing well, and that mostly I was getting coolered and outdrawn a lot, so I continued and promised myself that if I dipped below 1500 (still 30 buyins for NL50) that I would drop back down.

Fortunately I was able to turn everything around and end up positive for the night:

I guess when I get stuck, I get more and more determined to keep playing longer and make my money back. I'm not sure whether this is a good trait to have or not, but I'm pretty confident I play just as well, if not better, when I'm losing.

Oh, and that last downward spike at the end of the graph was so disgusting. There was a 95% VPIP aggressive fish at one of the 6max tables. It was him, and before long 5 TAGs trying to get his money. Unfortunately for us he kept getting lucky as hell and ended up leaving the table with 6 buyins! It was so disgusting.

Here's a couple of hands where I tried to get some money from him but couldn't keep the best hand. This is so disgusting because he would basically call ANY bet that isn't all in preflop, and almost always on the flop as well. Plus he bluffed like crazy both pre and post flop.

QQ owned by deuce four offsuit. And he stop value betting, which is simply insulting

JJ good..until the turn.
