How do you make it in Poker?

I am almost losing my mind. I am actually thinking of quitting poker because I feel I am just an unlucky person. I have really struggled with these thought. That might be the problem, maybe I am making myself an unlucky player. I took advantage of the Poker Stars 25% bonus offer by depositing $500 to make a $125.00 bonus. I generally play at the .25/.50 limit because I play for fun, but I would like to move up from success and not cash deposit. So late last night I set up my usual 4 table screen, but at the .25/.50 game. I was really catching cards and almost double a stack at one table. Because Poker Tracker as been hacked, I didn't run the program. I was cruising along when I lost 2 buy-ins within 3 minutes.

Hand #1 Me: AA

I have been really tight and elected to raise my AA's 4X. I am UTG and get a call from a MP player. Flop comes 246r. I lead out for 3/4 pot and get a call. Turn card is a 1o, same action, I am in for 1/2 pot bet, call! The river is a blank and the gut shoves? WTF set? No, the standard 10/4 to make 2 pair. Bad read?

Hand#2 Me: AQ

I am in the BB and re-raise the MP raiser, he calls. Flop is a beauty 5AQ for top 2. Lead out, re-raised by the original so I think he has the AK (makes sense from the action) and get in in good! Well not exactly he has 55 and makes flopped the set to my top 2. WTF!

Hand #3 Me: AK

Blind war with I guy I had stacked the hand before with my AQ on an A high board, he went to the felt with JJ. I raise he calls a flop of AT6. Bet and call, turn T. The river is a K, again I have top 2, bet and he min raises, so I think JQ? or split. I am pot committed so I call and he shows AT for the made boat. Ugh!

So I get to sleep and all the while wondering just how bad a poker player am I? I again remind myself that when someone shoves, that means something.

I wake up today to the warning that the "nail girl" is coming over, so to the desk top I go for a little bonus building poker time. I pound into my head that I will play tight, and without the nuts, lay down to any decent looking shove. The cards are not the best today, but I am making progress. Then the black flag waves it's evil colors again:

Could I just be an unlucky player? I mean what am I suppose to do here? As you can see, how am I suppose to make it in poker with this kind of stuff. The funny thing is, when I asked Balkan what he put me on, he replied "KK". That makes it even worse, even he knew I would lose! I like the other bloggers as they site results oriented poker and short term variance. Tell me of any sport or activity that goes like this, " I know I lost, and continue to lose, but I am playing well and I am really getting it in good. I am not concerned that I am losing, as long I am playing well". Come on now, let's get real. It sucks losing a hand or a session or many sessions. It sucks and it hurts, no matter that I am "getting it in with the best hand."
