(look out! whine post ;( )
OK, so I sat down on table, guy on my left open-shove like 6-7 of 12 hands. I'm on big blind, 4folds, guy shove, I have AcKs. Little me says "Oh god yes yes yessss", call. He shows As3h.
flop comes 378ss. omg.
Some hands later. 2 guys logged out - guy on my left stacked one with KTs on AA (flop Kxx, and rivered K), second one had 44 (vs guys 55).
Guy open-shove to me again, I with my AJ had edge on him. (Range that i give him here is kind too tight for him, because he shoved 93 one too, and there were shoves that everybody folded)
equity
Hand 0: 59.369% { AJo }
Hand 1: 40.631% { 22+, A2s+, K2s+, A2o+, K2o+, Q7o, JTo }
I showed AJ he 99, no J, no A.
Last couple of sessions (except that one I brag about last post) is just armageddon for my br. If I hit something villain have better (set over set for most of the time) or I dont get any action, but for most of the time I dont hit anything :/ I know that AK is only connector pf, but fck, nearly 20times when I got that no A nor K on board :/ Didn't won with pocket pairs like for eternity :/
That is sooooo frustrating.
When I started this blog it was my milestone from ~$20 to $200. Had $250 some time ago. I didn't change my game, not played after booze nor drugs. Not playing when tilted or ill (except play money but it doesn't cout). My game is crappy - I know - that's why I play nl2-5-10 and not nl2k-5k-10k, but for the stakes that I play it was profitable.
Is this a swing? Or is it my lame game made that I lost half of my roll. Or both?
I'm learning from pretty good players every single time I go to see them. I'm watching videos. I'm reading LP every day. And playing nearly every time I have free time.
So I'm improving, right? RIGHT?
If it is just a normal swing (i never had one ever) then omg, poker is horrible.
If it go even more like that, I will have to move down again to nl2 :/ and I don't want that :/ I am capable of doing that, for me it's no shame to play nl2, but if I can hold up nl5 I will try.
This whole thing is frustrating me so much, that I don't know if I'm sane now at the moment.
But it will pass, I hope.
Oh, and (maybe it's lame) I hoped that I could try "Avatars lottery" on LP but on "Poker Bonuses" section it disappeared. 
Besides poker, today is my final exam :/ Maybe it will go better than poker. I hope.
Stay tuned.

Whatever.
We all go through these, it may or may not be your bad play, so go over your hand with someone you trust and see if you're playing well. You probably don't have the skill to objectively look at your play and see whether it is good or not, imho. Everyone swings. The advice to NOT play poker is ridiculous. Everyone learns to handle the swings- I can't think of anybody who was immune to them the first few times.
