Rollercoaster

It's been a bizarre couple of weeks. I play a pretty low variance game but the ups and downs this last little while have been wild. After a pretty big downturn I then went on a heater for a few days to erase that loss, and then course hit another wall.

The running theme is getting in really ugly spots over and over and over, to the point I end up frazzled and beat down. Every pot i open i get 3 bet behind me. Every over-pair i get re-shoved from a tight player etc etc.

This hand is very typical. I sit down and post the first hand:
