So I finally found out where all my EV goes from pots like the two below:

This Saturday, while I was busy losing hands like the two above at my ring games and running pairs into overpairs, something else was going down. At my $55 daily 80k table I won QQ vs JJ, QQ vs AK, then AK vs QQ, then 33 vs KQ vs AT, then A4 vs KJ... I knew something was up right after QQ vs JJ: I never win those. 7 hours later only 3 of us remained at the final table with roughly same chip stacks. We chopped, and Stars shipped me 11.7k.
I don't really play too many tourneys, but the ones I do play have generally been good to me. After 58 instances of this particular tournament played over the course of the past year, this is my 2nd FT in it. The previous time I ended up finishing 5th for 3.2k (it was still daily 50k rather than 80, so the tourney tended to be smaller).
Combined with my pathetic running in cash games, August rounded off to about 15k, which makes for a nice present for my September 3rd birthday.
Next month I am looking forward to the big WCOOP events. Will definitely play the $530 NLHE and will put some effort into satelliting into the $1050 NLHE event, hopefully using FPPs. I will also throw down $100-$200 on a bunch of main event Step 1s. I tend to do better in MTT format satellites, but I want to see how a decent sample of steps goes. At $7.50 a pop, I'll probably play 25 or so of them to see if I like that format.
More importantly, I need to get over my bad streak in cash games. I thank everyone that has offered advice of winning flips and ritual sacrifice. Apparently, it worked. Now I just need to refine my technique as to make it apply to ring games as well.
Cheers all.
