There's only so many tough folds you can make

My luck seems to oscillate between scarily good and bizarrely bad. Every time I sit down for a session, I either win pot after pot and feel invincible, or I get caught in a storm of really tough situations, bad beats and eventual tilt.

Today was yet another session which ran horrible from the first hand. Straight up I was in a tough spot with AK out of position. Then I found myself laying down overpairs against tight players. I was flopping two pair on flushed boards and trying to figure if i was good.

Eventually, this hand was the final nail so I called an end to the torture. Villain is a tight aggressive regular and Pokerlisting describes him as a shark. I got outplayed in this hand and milked like a bloated jersey.
