Here is what made me wanna quit 1/2NL

[otbdave]

This is the worst beat I have taken in a very significant pot. It happened in January but I thought it was worth mentioning... All of the hand histories here happened on the same day, I ended up losing over $900 in one day.

I realize the 2nd two times I lost with AA it was not really a bad beat... I guess the lesson here is to end your session once you go on ultra tilt by losing a $351 pot you are over 95% to win... And also, I mean comon, the guy with 45 called my POT sized bet on the flop with 5 high and a GUTSHOT on a SUITED board. Are you kidding me? I realize my open shove on the turn was ill advised though.
